    Författare :Niki Andersson; [2017]
    Nyckelord :tardigrade; tardigrada; biology; biodiversity;

    Sammanfattning : Tardigrades are small water-dwelling invertebrates that can live almost anywhere in the world. Even though they are well-known our knowledge about them is still scarce. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Molecular Diversity and Biogeography of Tardigrades

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Irina Schuman; [2017]
    Nyckelord :molecular diversity; biogeography; tadrigrades; tardigrada;

    Sammanfattning : Tardigrades can handle extreme conditions such as heat, cold and drought, thanks to a process called cryptobiosis which can be found in a limited amount of taxa on Earth. More knowledge about such animals may help us to understand the potential and limitations of life both on Earth and possibly in space. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Differences in desiccation and freezing tolerance in limnic and limno-terrestrial tardigrades

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan Kristianstad/Sektionen för lärande och miljö

    Författare :Sanna Jamell; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Tardigrades; desiccation; freezing; Tardigrader; uttorkning; frysning;

    Sammanfattning : Tardigrades are microscopic aquatic invertebrates that are known for their ability to survive extreme conditions. Different species of tardigrades tolerate extreme conditions to a varying degree. It has been suggested that limnic tardigrades would have a lower tolerance to desiccation compared to limno-terrestrial tardigrades. LÄS MER
