Abstract
Tardigrades form a monophyletic group of microscopic ecdysozoans best known for surviving extreme environmental conditions. Due to their key phylogenetic position as a subgroup of the Panarthropoda, understanding tardigrade biology is important for comparative studies with related groups like Arthropoda. Panarthropods - and Ecdysozoa as a whole - likely evolved from macroscopic ancestors, with several taxa becoming secondarily miniaturized....
