XI International
Symposium on TardigradaThe
congress was attended by 74 researchers from 16 countries from four
continents (Asia,
Europe, North and South America). During the three days of the meeting 39
talks and 36 posters were presented.
This was
the second time a tardigrade conference was held in Germany. For the
first time in the history of tardigrade Symposia Young Scientist Awards
for oral and poster presentations were given.
In 2009 two
tardigrade anniversaries were celebrated: the 80th anniversary of
discovering Heterotardigrada by
Ernst Marcus and the 50th anniversary of defining cryptobiosis by
David Keilin.
