It has long been believed that tolerance against extreme environments is possible only for ‘lower’ groups, such as archaea, bacteria or tardigrades, and not for more ‘advanced’ species. Here, we demonstrated that the mammalian sperm nucleus also exhi
However, upon the return of the satellite to Earth, some of the tardigrades survived and even were able to produce offspring. Should they be admitted as “alive”, in the regular sense, during this exposure? Many other situations in biology can be invoked, where a rational answer to the ...
that has been applied to tardigrades over the years isn’t entirely accurate. just because they’re capable of surviving these harsh environments doesn’t mean they seek them out. they actually prefer regular old dirt and sand and moss all over the world. i mean, would you rather stay in...
After receiving her PhD at Harvard University, Dr. Inbar Maayan received the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology! Her research in the Geneva Lab will focus on the evolution and phylogeography of Jamaican Anolis lizards. See her website for more information about her exciting research!

Tardigrades are fascinating, microscopic, nearly indestructible little water bears. When they go into their state of cryptobiosis, tardigrades can survive extremes of temperature, radiation, and even the vacuum of space. They’ve been around since the Cretaceous and survived multiple mass extinction ...
In total 58, tardigrade species are reported, only 12 of which are common to all three areas. Forty-three species are reported from Greenland (11 new to the country and two new to science); 33 species are reported from Iceland (14 new to the country); 21 species are reported from the...
