The IX Symposium section
opened
We're happy to let you know that the section devoted to the
IX
International Symposium on Tardigrada is now completed. We're
extremely grateful to
Jim Garey (one of the Symposium organisers) who
kindly sent us all the materials we asked for, including also some
photos from the conference.
We invite you to
have a look at the section and also encourage you to
email us your pictures from the meeting. We'll then
upload them to the
online Symposium album.
We decided to gather all
Symposia photos in
one place and we'll be adding new albums when sections for
other Symposia are opened. Given that now there's only one
picture in the II Symposium album, we'd be grateful for any
photos from that conference!
Currently there are four Symposia sections
completed (the II, IX, X and XI Symposium). This also means that
there're still seven to go, but with your help we should have no
problems with finishing the task! :-)

Tardigrada Newsletter
Archives extended to the beginning of the XXI century
We decided to add tardigrade references for years 2001-2003, so
that the
Archives start with the beginning of the current century.
Most likely we missed some of the papers, thus if you know
of any references not listed in our
Archives, please let us
know!

Change in "Zootaxa"
tardigrade editorship
Clark Beasley is retiring this year from his university and he
also decided to resign from the tardigrade editorship in the
international journal of zoological taxonomy "Zootaxa".
We would like to thank Clark
for his work that he has done for the tardigrade community as
the Zootaxa editor. We wish him a lot of fun
during his well-deserved retirement, but we also hope his adventure
with water bears has not finished yet! :-)
The new Editor for
Tardigrada is Sandra McInnes. We'd like to wish Sandra a lot of
satisfaction from the new job.
"Zootaxa"
is one of the largest zoological journals in the World and also
the most popular among tardigradologists. Since 2001, when the
journal was launched, over 17% of all tardigrade papers have
been published in its volumes, making it the top journal in tardigrade publishing
within the last decade.

Happy New Year!!! :-)
Thank you very much for all the wishes you sent to us. We also would like to wish you all the best in 2010. We hope that the New
Year will bring many interesting and groundbreaking tardigrade
discoveries :-)
As a New Year gift we prepared a new
section with tardigrade icons for computer folders.
We also created a photo
album for the XI Symposium. Peter Degma already kindly uploaded
some of his photos (link available
here). Please follow his example and upload your
pictures too (please
email
us in order to obtain the password required to upload/delete
pictures).
