Morphology and Functional Anatomy, film of water to be active, and tardigrades residing in terrestrial environments live in moist microhabitats. The latter species are referred to as semiterrestrial, and they endure rapid dehydration by losing water over highly permeable integuments while forming a quiescent tun. Species of the clas

Phylogeny and Integrative Taxonomy of Tardigrada,f tardigrades. New information obtained from these investigations plays a crucial role in establishing a reliable systematic framework of Tardigrada. Importantly, contemporary phylogenetic investigations readily incorporate and reinvestigate morphological characters and character systems. Most of th

Environmental Adaptations: Desiccation Tolerance,hoek was the first who describe the phenomenon of the resurrection of a desiccated rotifer in 1702. As with some rotifers and other small organisms, tardigrades enter a desiccated state known as anhydrobiosis to withstand such environmental conditions. This allows them to cope with the temporal vari

Although this extreme subzero temperature tolerance got quite a lot of attention, there is little knowledge regarding their physiological and biochemical adaptations connected to ecological representative subzero temper

Environmental Adaptations: Radiation Tolerance,ing radiation on the order of kGy. Both low-LET and high-LET radiation have been used with no apparent differences in the tolerance of the animals. Tolerance to ionizing radiation in tardigrades also seems to be independent of whether the animal has entered a dry anhydrobiotic state or is hydrated w

Molecular Biology in Tardigrades,olecular approaches have and continue to be used in nearly every area of biological study today, including genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, cell and developmental biology, physiology, and evolutionary biology. The adoption of molecular techniques to tardigrade research has helped to propel these
