Integrative description of Macrobiotus anshui sp. nov. from the Madeira Island and new record of Macrobiotus dolosus Bertolani, Cesari, Giovannini, Rebecchi, Guidetti, Kaczmarek and Pilato, 2022 (Macrobiotidae; persimilis-polonicus complex) from England

The European Zoological Journal
Tardigrades from England and Madeira are poorly known and up to now only a few species of the genus Macrobiotus have been reported from both regions. In this paper we describe a new species, Macrobiotus anshui sp. nov.

Possible Impacts of Climatic Warming on Polar Bears

, 1993
If climatic warming occurs, the first impacts on polar bears (Ursus maritirnus) will be felt at the southern limits of their distribution, such as in James and Hudson bays, where the whole population is already forced to fast for approximately four ...

Integrative description of two new Milnesium species (Apochela: milnesiidae) from Canada and Nepal

The European Zoological Journal
Global knowledge of tardigrade diversity is limited, and there are still regions with poorly studied fauna. We applied an integrative taxonomy approach to describe two new eutardigrade species from Nepal and Canada.

Assessment of Landsat-Based Evapotranspiration Using Weighing Lysimeters in the Texas High Plains

Agronomy, 2020
Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the largest data gaps in water management due to the limited availability of measured evapotranspiration data, and because ET spatial variability is difficult to characterize at various scales.

Comparing Price and Non-price Approaches to Urban Water Conservation [PDF]

Urban water conservation is typically achieved through prescriptive regulations, including the rationing of water for particular uses and requirements for the installation of particular technologies.

Negative impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the survival of tardigrades

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Global warming effects in temperate and polar regions include higher average temperatures and a decrease in snow cover, which together lead to an increase in the number of freeze–thaw cycles (FTC).

Integrative taxonomy supports two new species of Macrobiotus (Tardigrada: Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) allowing further discussion on the genus phylogeny

European Journal of Taxonomy
In this study, I describe two new species of Macrobiotus based on morphological data collected through light and scanning electron microscopy. Both species are accompanied by DNA sequences from four commonly used molecular markers (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA ...

Using tri-axial accelerometers to identify wild polar bear behaviors

Endangered Species Research, 2017
Tri-axial accelerometers have been used to remotely identify the behaviors of a wide range of taxa. Assigning behaviors to accelerometer data often involves the use of captive animals or surrogate species, as their accelerometer signatures are generally ...

Tardigrade distribution in soils of high Arctic habitats

Ecology and Evolution
Tardigrades are omnipresent microfauna with scarce record on their ecology in soils. Here, we investigated soil inhabiting tardigrade communities in five contrasting polar habitats, evaluating their abundance, diversity, species richness, and species ...
