Tardigrade phylogeny is currently the object of intense investigations driven by an
increasing amount of molecular data from a broad taxonomic range of tardigrades. New …

More than one thousand Tardigrada species were included in the published checklist
(Guidetti, R. & Bertolani, R. 2005. Tardigrade taxonomy: an updated check list of the taxa …

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 …

Species of the Macrobiotus hufelandi group are one of the most often recorded tardigrades
throughout the globe. For over a century M. hufelandi has been considered cosmopolitan …

Providing accurate animals' phylogenies rely on increasing knowledge of neglected phyla.
Tardigrada diversity evaluated in broad phylogenies (among phyla) is biased towards …

Microscopic animals (also referred to as meiofauna) in freshwater habitats include several
common, abundant and species-rich phyla, whose patterns of diversity are poorly known …

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

Numerous evolutionary lineages representing an armoured, limno-terrestrial family
Echiniscidae are restricted to high mountainous or polar localities, exhibiting clear cold …

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

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