Marcus was published. Tardigrades’ organ systems, including their integument, body cavity, digestive, muscular, nervous and reproductive systems, as well as their overall external morphology, are summarized in the second chapter. Subsequent chapters present the current state of knowledge on tardigrade phylogeny, biogeography, paleontology, cytology and cytogenetics. In addition, the book provides insights into the ecology of tardigrades in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. The reproduction, development and life cycles are summarized and the extraordinary environmental adaptations of encystment and cyclomorphosis, desiccation tolerance, freezing tolerance and radiation tolerance are discussed in detail. Further chapters provide an overview of key approaches in molecular tardigrade studies and describe techniques for sampling and sample processing. The book closes with a list of tardigrade taxa up to a sub-generic level, including the type species of e | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Tardigrada biodiversity; anhydrobiosis; cryobiosis; cryptobiosis; diapause; dormancy; dormant state; eutard | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-95702-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-95702-9Series ISSN 2523-3904 Series E-ISSN 2523-3912 | issn_series | 2523-3904 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 |
