Number of reports of Tardigrades by state in the United States
- Tardigrade fauna in a variety of different mosses from a coniferous forest and an adjacent clear-cut area in southern Sweden.
- Sixteen species were recorded, of which the cosmopolitan species Macrobiotus hufelandi was the far most common.
- Some mosses, particularly species with "wefts" growth form, contained more tardigrades than other mosses, indicating that growth form may have an impact on tardigrade abundance.
- Mosses of the same species collected from a forest and from a clear-cut, respectively, did not show a general trend in the overall abundance of tardigrades
- The forest tended to contain more species.
- Five species of tardigrades
1. Murrayon dianae
2. Isohypsibius sattleri
3. Platicrista angustata
4. Diphascon belgicae
5. Diphascon pingue
