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).
