Echiniscidae (Heterotardigrada) of South Africa.

The first publications on the Afrotropical tardigrade fauna date back to the beginning of the 20th century. However, the knowledge on the faunal composition, diversity and evolution of African tardigrades, including the speciose family Echiniscidae, is still fragmentary. Here, we present an extensive systematic, biogeographic, and ecological survey of echiniscid fauna of the southernmost part of the Afrotropical realm.

Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part V: Australasia.

This paper is the fifth monograph of the series that describes the global records of limno-terrestrial water bears (Tardigrada). Here, we provide a comprehensive list of non-marine tardigrades recorded from Australasia, providing an updated and revised taxonomy accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, habitat, and biogeographic comments. It is hoped this work will serve as a reference point and background for further zoogeographical and taxonomical studies.
