Arthrotardigrada
Arthrotardigrada are an order of tardigrades, first described by Marcus in 1927. Families Arthrotardigrada consists of the following families Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society.

Tardigrade
Tardigrades (), known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär ("little water bear"). In 1777, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada (), which means "slow steppers". They have been found in diverse regions of Earth's biospheremountaintops, the deep sea, tropical rainforests, and the Antarctic. Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space. There are about 1,300 known species in the phylum Tardigrada, a part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa consisting of anim ...

Anisonyches . The genus was first described and named by Leland W. Pollock in 1975. The genus name is a combination of the Greek ''aniso'' ("unequal") and ''onyches'' ("claws"), since ''Anisonyches'' have four claws each on the first three pairs of legs and three claws each on the fourth pair of legs.
''Anisonyches'' is a genus of tardigrades in the family Echiniscoididae The Echiniscoididae are a family of tardigrades, water-dwelling, eight-legged, segmented micro-animals. It is one of the four families in the Echiniscoidea order. Species According to Degma, Bertolani et Guidetti (2018), this genus includes three species: * ''[...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Heterotardigrada
The class Heterotardigrada includes tardigrades (water bears) that have cephalic appendages and legs with four separate but similar digits or claws on each. 444 species have been described. Anatomy The anatomy of the reproductive system is an important defining feature in distinguishing the different groups of tardigrades. Heterotardigrades have gonoducts that open to the outside through a preanal gonopore, rather than opening into the rectum as in the only other confirmed class of tardigrades, the Eutardigrada. The third class, Mesotardigrada, is represented by a single species known from a single specimen that is now lost, and the location from which that specimen was collected has since been destroyed by an earthquake, so its reproductive anatomy has not been studied recently. Ecology Some order Order, ORDER or Orders may refer to: * Categorization, the process in which ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated, and understood * Heterarchy, a system of organi ...
