World List of Tardigrada launched

The World Tardigrada Database is now available at the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). This Tardigrada Database will contain all data on the systematic and distribution of marine, freshwater and terrestrial species. Already, the systematic and distribution of marine species have been checked and updated; via a LifeWatch support grant obtained through WoRMS. The freshwater and terrestrial species are still under revision but we hope these data will be available soon. In the interim, the Editors of the World Tardigrada Database will be available to provide data on request
