The tardigrade Dactylobiotus dispar can be trained by classical conditioning to curl up into the defensive 'tun' state in response to a blue light associated with a small electric shock, an aversive stimulus. This demonstrates that tardigrades are capable of learning.

Tardigrades are microscopic creatures with "noodles for legs," as one expert describes it, but they manage to walk like insects. Videos of tardigrades walking around reveal that these microscopic ...
The Petrological Database of the Ocean Floor (PetDB) [1] is a relational database for global geochemical data on igneous and metamorphic rocks generated at mid-ocean ridges including back-arc basins, young seamounts, and old oceanic crust, as well as ophiolites and terrestrial xenoliths from the mantle and lower crust and diamond geochemistry.
Richtersius is a monospecific genus of tardigrades in the family Richtersiidae; its sole species is Richtersius coronifer. [1] [2] [3] R. coronifer is one of two species of tardigrade that have been shown to survive and continue reproducing after exposure to outer space, specifically in the thermosphere at 258–281 km above sea level with ionizing solar and galactic cosmic radiation for 10 ...
Tardigrades, or water bears, thrive in some of Earth’s harshest environments. Now, researchers say they have unlocked the survival mechanism of the tiny creature. Scientists now think they know ...
