Comparative
experimental studies on the survival of lichen and
moss dwelling nematodes, rotifers and tardigrades
in extreme fluctuating environments resisting desiccation or deep or high
temperatures by using physiological
mechanisms such as anhydrobiosis
(dehydration), cryobiosis (freeze tolerance), anoxybiosis (reduction in oxygen tensions) and encystment. |
