A Comparative Ultrastructure Study of the Tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus In The Hydrated State, After Desiccation and During the Process of Rehydration
Tardigrades can survive hostile environments such as desiccation by adopting a state of anhydrobiosis. Numerous tardigrade species have been described thus far, and recent genome and transcriptome analyses revealed that […]
