“…These studies primarily focused on testing the survival of tardigrades in environmental extremes, including radiation, changes in humidity, and high temperatures, or repeated anhydrobiosis at different life stages. The studies included research on DNA repair mechanisms and stress proteins synthesis on the basis of genomic analyses [ 21 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 33 – 35 , 37 – 41 , 45 , 46 , 48 , 51 , 55 , 59 , 60 ]. The conclusion from these studies shows that different tardigrade species have a high degree (80–90%) of survival after short periods of anhydrobiosis.…”
