Echiniscus is a genus of tardigrades in the family Echiniscidae. [1] The genus was named and described by Karl August Sigismund Schultze in 1840.
The genus includes the following species: [1]
The Dean Cemetery is a historically important Victorian cemetery north of the Dean Village, west of Edinburgh city centre, in Scotland. It lies between Queensferry Road and the Water of Leith, bounded on its east side by Dean Path and on its west by the Dean Gallery. A 20th-century extension lies detached from the main cemetery to the north of Ravelston Terrace. The main cemetery is accessible through the main gate on its east side, through a "grace and favour" access door from the grounds of Dean Gallery and from Ravelston Terrace. The modern extension is only accessible at the junction of Dean Path and Queensferry Road.
Acteon is a genus of small sea snails, predatory marine gastropod mollusks in the family Acteonidae, the barrel bubble snails.
Echiniscus testudo is a cosmopolitan species of tardigrade.
Hypsibius is a genus of tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada.
Diphascon is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Doryphoribius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Ramazzottius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Itaquascon is a genus of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Isohypsibius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. The length of an isohypsibius tardigrade ranges from 0.1 millimeters to 1.5 millimeters. In addition to eating algae and plant cells, tardigrades also consume insect larvae and even other tardigrades. They live in a lot of places, like damp wooded areas with moss, lichens, leaf litter, and dirt. These animals can also be found in natural lakes and ponds.
Milnesium is a genus of tardigrades. It is rather common, being found in a wide variety of habitats across the world. It has a fossil record extending back to the Cretaceous, the oldest species found so far is known from Turonian stage deposits on the east coast of the United States. Milnesiums are one of the most desiccation and radiation-resistant invertebrates on Earth because of their unique ability to transform into a "tun" state and utilize intrinsically disordered proteins when experiencing extreme environments.
Pseudechiniscus is a genus of tardigrades in the family Echiniscidae. The genus was named and described by Gustav Thulin in 1911.
Bryodelphax is a genus of tardigrades in the family Echiniscidae. The genus was first described by Gustav Thulin in 1928.
