This review synthesizes recent developments in the field of tardigrade biogeography, tracing
back to the origins of Baas Becking's hypothesis that 'everything is everywhere but the …

The Arabian Gulf (hereafter 'the Gulf') is renowned for its unique ecological characteristics
and distinct marine life. It offers a diverse range of ecosystems that have adapted to the …

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 …

Tardigrades are rarely included in large biodiversity surveys, mainly because of the
impracticalities that follow larger sampling and identification of these microscopic animals …

Cephalopods are pivotal components of marine food webs, but biodiversity studies are
hampered by challenges to sample these agile marine molluscs. Metabarcoding of …

Tardigrades, also known as 'water bear'or 'moss piglet', inhabit diverse environments
ranging from marine to freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They occupy various trophic levels …

Rock pools are ephemeral freshwater habitats characterized by their small size, well-defined
boundaries, and periodic desiccation, making them ideal model systems to answer …

Three deep-sea tardigrade species were identified from the sediment samples collected
during the four German–Russian joint deep-sea cruises that were conducted in the North …

The ITS‐2‐rRNA has been particularly useful for nematode metabarcoding but does not
resolve all phylogenetic relationships, and reference sequences are not available for many …

To improve approaches for studying soil tardigrades, we compared three tardigrade
extraction methods, including centrifugal flotation, Baermann funnel, and Whitehead tray …
