Scientific Reports, 2022 Dispersal abilities in animals contribute to their local genetic variability and species persistence. However, the mechanisms facilitating a short-distance migration of small organisms remain underexplored. In this study we experimentally tested the role

Antioxidant Response during the Kinetics of Anhydrobiosis in Two Eutardigrade Species
Life, 2022 Anhydrobiosis, a peculiar adaptive strategy existing in nature, is a reversible capability of organisms to tolerate a severe loss of their body water when their surrounding habitat is drying out.

Diversity, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is induced by loss of water and indicates dehydration tolerance. Survival of dehydration is possible through changes at different levels of organism organization, including a remarkable reduction in metabolic activity at the cellular level.

An integrative description of a population of Mesobiotus radiatus (Pilato, Binda & Catanzaro, 1991) from Kenya [PDF]
, 2018 In a moss sample collected from Mount Kulal in Kenya, a new population of Mesobiotus radiatus was found. Given that the original description of M. radiatus was based solely on the morphology observed by light microscopy and measurements based mostly on a

Diversity, 2020 Tardigrades are microscopic invertebrates that can withstand complete desiccation, but their interspecies interactions with prokaryotes and eukaryotes within their microhabitat remain relatively unexplored.

A tale of two tardigrades [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Horizontal or lateral gene transfer (HGT) involves the transmission of genetic material between separate genomes. It is a major driver of evolutionary innovation in archaea and bacteria (1⇓⇓–4), but the role of HGT in eukaryotes, especially multicellular organisms, remains controversial.

Humans are superior — by human standards [PDF]
, 2019 Chapman & Huffman argue that humans are neither unique nor superior to other animals. I believe they are right in claiming that we are no more unique than any other species, but wrong in assuming that this means we cannot be ranked as superior.

Co- variation in soil biodiversity and biogeochemistry in northern and southern Victoria Land, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2006 Data from six sites in Victoria Land (72–77°S) investigating co-variation in soil communities (microbial and invertebrate) with biogeochemical properties showthe influence of soil properties on habitat suitability varied among local landscapes as well as
