The V International
Symposium on Tardigrada
The
smallest tardigrade meeting in the history was attended by
only 13 researchers
from 4 countries (from Europe
and North America). During
the single session 7 talks were presented.
The conference was unique in the sense that it was the only Symposium in
the history that was a part of another, larger meeting - The Eighth International Meiofauna Conference.
It was also the only tardigrade Symposium that did not produce its
proceedings. It was the second time that a tardigrade meeting was held
in the USA.
