Organisms Diversity & Evolution - The Tardigrade Story – 250th Anniversary and Special Anniversay Issue
Water bears are true survival artists that occur in the most diverse habitats on earth. They live in dry desert regions, on glaciers, in rivers and lakes, in cold and tropical seas, and also on your doorstep on walls, roofs and between stones.
2023 is the 250th anniversary of the discovery of these fascinating animals. A comprehensive tardigrade online series event with 12 leading international scientists will give an insight into the exciting life of tardigrades: More information on the 250th Anniversary Online series (this opens in a new tab).
Look out for the special anniversary issue “Tardigrades in Space and Time – Taxonomy, biogeography and biology” which will be published in 2024!
