The II International Symposium on Tardigrada 

The smallest Symposium in the history was attended only by 12 tardigradologists who presented 11 talks during the two days of the conference.

This was the only tardigrade meeting held in a communist country, which had some unusual consequences. For example, Barbara Weglarska, who organised the Symposium, had to provide to the authorities not only the names of participants, but also some of their personal details such as the birth dates as all westerners were considered by the communist government as potential spies. Wanting to avoid bothering her guests Barbara made up the dates and other details. Fortunately the authorities haven't found out about the fraud.

Proceedings

The Symposium talks have been published in a special volume of 'Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Jagiellonskiego - Prace Zoologiczne'. Given that the Symposium was very small, the volume contains only 11 scientific papers on tardigrade morphology, taxonomy, faunistics, physiology, reproduction and embryology.
