...Kenneth Agerlin Halberg; Kristine Wulff Larsen; Aslak Jørgensen; Hans Ramløv; Nadja Møbjerg SUMMARY Many species of tardigrades are known to tolerate extreme environmental stress, yet detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the remarkable adaptations of tardigrades is still lacking...

...Kenneth Agerlin Halberg; Nadja Møbjerg SUMMARY We investigated transport of the organic anion Chlorophenol Red (CPR) in the tardigrade Halobiotus crispae using a new method for quantifying non-fluorescent dyes. We compared the results acquired from the tardigrade with CPR transport data obtained...

...Kenneth Agerlin Halberg; Dennis Persson; Hans Ramløv; Peter Westh; Reinhardt Møbjerg Kristensen; Nadja Møbjerg SUMMARY Tardigrades exhibit a remarkable resilience against environmental extremes. In the present study, we investigate mechanisms of survival and physiological adaptations associated...

...Jonathan C. Wright ABSTRACT Tardigrades entering a state of anhydrobiosis (cryptobiosis) show considerable interspecific variation in desiccation tolerance, lower lethal humidities for initial desiccation ranging from 78 to 53%. Species most tolerant of rapid initial drying also show the most rapid...
