Primary producers shape terrestrial biodiversity, but most research has focused on vascular plants, while the role of cryptogams (mosses, lichens and algae) remains under‐explored. Cryptogams dominate Antarctic vegetation and support diverse microarthropod communities. However, how cryptogam traits influence these communities remains poorly understood.

Experimental taxonomy exposes ontogenetic variability and elucidates the taxonomic value of claw configuration in Milnesium Doyère, 1840 (Tardigrada : Eutardigrada : Apochela) [PDF]
In this paper we describe a new apochelan species, Milnesium variefidum sp. nov. from Scotland and provide novel morphological and molecular data for Milnesium berladnicorum Ciobanu et al., 2014.

ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Evolution of a stream ecosystem in recently deglaciated terrain
Climate change and associated glacial recession create new stream habitat that leads to the assembly of new riverine communities through primary succession.

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

Characterization of Radiotolerance Mechanisms in the Tardigrade Species Hypsibius Dujardini [PDF]
Tardigrades are microscopic invertebrates that are uniquely radio tolerant among animals, and while the mechanisms of radiotolerance in some species is becoming understood, such mechanisms in Hypsibius dujardini, the most radio tolerant fully aquatic ...

A model study for tardigrade identification [PDF]
Using tardigrades from a single moss sample as a case study, we propose a new method for tardigrade species identification, which is often problematic, due to the low number of morphological characters.
