Abstract:

Research on the limno-terrestrial Tardigrada fauna of the Sub-Antarctic zone began almost 120 years ago. Here we present an overview of the literature data on the presence of tardigrades on sub-Antarctic islands, including the substrates on which they have been found. From 32 published sources, we found original data on the occurrence of 49 currently valid species on six sub-Antarctic islands/island groups. Of these, 9 species (18%) were originally described from this zone, another 13 species (26%) were described from Continental or Maritime Antarctica, almost half of these species (22 species

Abstract:

Limno-terrestrial tardigrades of Argentina had been studied starting in 1908 and for a long time by European researchers, most frequently in the Patagonian region (incl. the Land of Fire). Starting during the 1980s, Claps, Rossi and collaborators published many surveys, studying other regions also, but with taxonomic criteria at that time. Since the 2000s, methodical and continuous studies using more modern criteria, have been carried out at the National University of La Pampa, contributing to the faunistic, taxonomic and ecological knowledge (including new species descriptions).

Abstract:

Diatoms are useful ecological and paleolimnological indicators routinely used to reconstruct past conditions and monitor environmental change. Despite this, diatom assemblages from lake sediment cores are often difficult to interpret due to a limited knowledge of the ecology of some species, some of which may originate from the adjacent limno-terrestrial landscape. Here, we compare diatom assemblages from two recently published Antarctic lake sediment cores collected from the northeast and southwest sides of Vega Island, Antarctic Peninsula. We further compare the sediment core assemblages wit

Abstract:

Flood pulse related physical variables (FLOOD) can affect zooplankton community structure through local factors directly and can also influence through regional dispersal factors of metacommunity concepts indirectly. Therefore, we infer that spatial patterns of zooplankton communities could be related to metacommunity concepts and their importance may depend on the size of the aquatic/terrestrial transition zone (ATTZ). Herein, we explored the relative importance of limnological (LIMNO) and FLOOD variables in zooplankton community by analyzing data from 272 sites across three floodplain lakes

Abstract:

Traditionally Eurocentric tardigrade taxonomy has started to dissect endemics from very few truly cosmopolitan or widely distributed species, originally described mostly from the West Palaearctic, in the last decade. Obviously, the most problematic for taxonomic identification are species in large genera containing over 100 species in the case of Tardigrada. In limno-terrestrial heterotardigrades, only Echiniscus C.A.S. Schultze, 1840 fulfils this criterion, being a perfect example of taxonomic inflation. In Echiniscidae, this phenomenon results predominantly from the historical fallacy of att

Abstract:

Members of the genus Echiniscus C.A.S. Schultze, 1840 are mostly unisexual, with thelytokously reproducing females. Therefore, every newly described dioecious species in the genus is particularly interesting. Here, we describe Echiniscus masculinus sp. nov. from Gunung Kinabalu, the highest peak of Borneo and the entire Southeast Asia. The new species belongs in the predominantly parthenogenetic E. virginicus complex, and its females are confusingly similar to females of the pantropical E. lineatus Pilato et al., 2008, another member of this group.

Abstract Gastrotricha encompass a diversity of free-living micrometazoans typically associated with aquatic or semi-aquatic environments. The discovery of a gastrotrich species in limno-terrestrial habitats challenges existing taxonomic classifications and expands our understanding of their ecological diversity. This study describes Dendroichthydium ibyrapora gen. et sp. nov., a new gastrotrich from epiphytic mosses found in Atlantic rainforest within Serra do Japi biological reserve, and establishes its taxonomic status through morphological and molecular analyses.

Due to the small size and the fragility of their bodies, that require specific handling and laboratory instruments, tardigrades have been little studied in terms of its taxonomy. In Brazil the limno-terrestrial tardigrades were not studied since the pioneers studies in the decades of 1940 and 1950. The present study aims to describe a new species of the genus Milnesium collected from Brazil using modern morphological techniques. This tardigrade is characterized by cuticle smooth, short cuticular bars under the claws IV, claw configuration [3-3][3-3] with internal and anterior spurs larger than

Abstract:

Abstract Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are small aquatic animals that inhabit marine, fresh water or limno-terrestrial environments. While all tardigrades require surrounding water to grow and reproduce, species living in limno-terrestrial environments (e.g. Ramazzottius varieornatus) are able to undergo almost complete dehydration by entering an arrested state known as anhydrobiosis, which allows them to tolerate ionic radiation, extreme temperatures and intense pressure. Previous studies based on comparison of the genomes of R. varieornatus and Hypsibius dujardini - a less tolerant

Abstract Only a small proportion of the world’s crustacean taxa is adapted to limno-terrestrial microhabitats that are disconnected from conventional surface waterbodies. In rare occasions, water films on terrestrial tropical and subtropical vegetation may also harbour specialised cladocerans. Bryospilus Frey, 1980 (Chydoridae) is the only genus within the class Branchiopoda that is specialised to living almost exclusively in water-saturated terrestrial moss patches, leaf litter, and phytotelms.

Abstract:

The limno-terrestrial tardigrade fauna of Argentina has been investigated methodically and with modern criteria just in the last two decades, but current knowledge is still incomplete. So far, about 119 limno-terrestrial species are known for the country, of which only 6 belong to the genus Minibiotus R.O. Schuster, 1980. Until 1988, this genus was monotypic, with only Minibiotus intermedius (Plate, 1888), but today the number of species of the genus has risen to 55. In the present contribution, we describe with an integrated approach (PCM, SEM, morphometry and DNA analysis with COI, ITS2, 18S

Abstract:

Abstract Tardigrada is an ecdysozoan lineage most famous for its resilience. Tardigrades can tolerate high doses of radiation, low oxygen environments, desiccation and both high and low temperatures under a dormant state called anhydrobiosis, which is a reversible halt of metabolism upon almost complete desiccation. A large amount of research has focused on the genetic pathways related to these capabilities, and a number of genes have been identified and linked to tardigrade’s extremotolerant response. However, the history of these genes is unclear, and the origins and history of extremotolera

AbstractThe diversity and spatial distribution of microscopic invertebrates in the Arctic have yet to be studied in detail. Knowledge of this is especially important in the context of glacier shrinking, one of the most visible environmental consequences of climate change. To understand how time since deglaciation shapes the communities of limno-terrestrial microfauna, we analysed samples of moss collected during the summer of 2021 in forefields of Trygghamna (Svalbard), where glaciers thought to have started to recede at the beginning of the twentieth century.
