Terrestrial Tardigrada (Water Bears) of the Słowiński National Park (Northern Poland)

Diversity
In this paper, samples of mosses, lichens and cryptogams (mosses mixed with lichens) collected from Słowiński National Park (northern Poland) were studied for water bears (Tardigrada). In total, 27 tardigrade taxa were identified: 21 to the species level,

Integrative description of Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov. with notes on M. recens (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2018
In this paper we describe Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov., a new tardigrade species of the Macrobiotus hufelandi group from the Canary Islands. Moreover, with the use of DNA sequencing, we confirm that Macrobiotus recens Cuénot, 1932 represents the ...

DNA and RNA Damage, Protection, and Repair in Desiccation-Tolerant Metazoans

Biomolecules
Desiccation, ionizing radiation, ultraviolet exposure, and oxidative stress impose severe physicochemical stress that threatens the integrity of both DNA and RNA.

Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007
Extreme habitats give rise to strong stressors that lead organisms to die or to possess specific adaptations to those stressors. One of the most widespread adaptations is quiescence, a common term for several strategies, including anhydrobiosis, a highly

Does the midgut of the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus experimentalis respond to the effects of ibuprofen?

The European Zoological Journal
In recent years, the pollution of aquatic environments with pharmaceuticals, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has increased.

Possible roles of CAHS proteins from Tardigrade in osmotic stress tolerance in mammalian cells

Cell Structure and Function
Anhydrobiosis, a phenomenon in which organisms survive extreme dehydration by entering a reversible ametabolic state, is a remarkable example of survival strategies. This study focuses on anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, which are known for their resilience

Integrative description of two new species of the genus Mesobiotus (Eutardigrada, Macrobiotoidea) from Russia, with an updated phylogeny of the genus

European Journal of Taxonomy
In this study, we describe two new species of Mesobiotus based on morphological data collected through light and scanning electron microscopy. Descriptions include DNA sequences of four commonly used molecular markers (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, ITS-2, and COI)

Ecdysteroid-dependent molting in tardigrades

Current Biology
Abstract Molting is a defining feature of the most species-rich animal taxa, the Ecdysozoa, including arthropods, tardigrades, nematodes, and others. In pancrustaceans, such as insects and decapods, molting is regulated by the ecdysteroid (Ecd) hormone and its downstream cascade.
