On dormancy strategies in tardigrades
In this review we analyze the dormancy strategies of metazoans inhabiting “hostile to life”
habitats, which have a strong impact on their ecology and in particular on the traits of their …

[PDF][PDF] Tardigrades use intrinsically disordered proteins to survive desiccation
Tardigrades are microscopic animals that survive a remarkable array of stresses, including
desiccation. How tardigrades survive desiccation has remained a mystery for more than 250 …

MicroRNAs and phylogenomics resolve the relationships of Tardigrada and suggest that velvet worms are the sister group of Arthropoda
Morphological data traditionally group Tardigrada (water bears), Onychophora (velvet
worms), and Arthropoda (eg, spiders, insects, and their allies) into a monophyletic group of …

Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance
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 …

Extreme-tolerance mechanisms in meiofaunal organisms: a case study with tardigrades, rotifers and nematodes
L Rebecchi, C Boschetti, DR Nelson - Hydrobiologia, 2020 - Springer
To persist in extreme environments, some meiofaunal taxa have adopted outstanding
resistance strategies. Recent years have seen increased enthusiasm for understanding …
