A laboratory strain identified as" Hypsibius dujardini" is one of the best studied tardigrade
strains: it is widely used as a model organism in a variety of research projects, ranging from …

The family Macrobiotidae is one of the most speciose and diverse groups among
tardigrades. Although there have been attempts to reconstruct the phylogeny of this family …

Tardigrades are captivating organisms known for their resilience in extreme environments,
including ultra-high-dose radiation, but the underlying mechanisms of this resilience remain …

Outdated and inaccurate original descriptions of species nominal for genera or species
complexes give birth to notorious difficulties in species identification and often translate into …

The tardigrade genus Acutuncus has been long thought to be an Antarctic endemism, well
adapted to this harsh environment. The Antarctic endemicity of Acutuncus was recently …

The genus Minibiotus is morphologically diverse, which may suggest its polyphyletic
character. However, scarce genetic data and often also the lack of detailed morphological …

Optical anisotropy, which is an intrinsic property of many materials, originates from the
structural arrangement of molecular structures, and to date, various polarization-sensitive …

The recent integrative revision of the family Macrobiotidae demonstrated monophyly of the
genus Macrobiotus and its complex, mosaic morphological evolution. Here, we analyse …

Tardigrade taxonomy is based largely on classical methodology, with morphological and
morphometric traits being most often the sole basis for species delineation and identification …

Isohypsibioidea are most likely the most basally branching evolutionary lineage of
eutardigrades. Despite being second largest eutardigrade order, phylogenetic relationships …
