“…The authors underlined the poor knowledge of the interactions between these lichens and their accompanying biota (i.e., micrometazoans) and suggested avenues for future research. Recent papers concerning tardigrades in lichens include taxonomical, ecological or physiological aspects (e.g., Greven 1972;Morgan and Lampart 1986;Rebecchi et al 2006;Guil et al 2009). In the scientific browsers Web of Science and Scopus, only 67/81 papers use the keywords "Tardigrada" and "lichens," which is low in comparison to the keywords "Tardigrada" and "moss," with 121/143 papers (http://apps.webofknowledge.com/, https://www.scopus.…”

“…Although studies of Arctic tardigrades have taken place since the early the twentieth century (Scourfield 1897) and the first comprehensive monographs were published more than 3 decades ago (Marcus 1936;Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983), lichens are less studied than mosses in terms of their tardigrade ecology. Most of the previous ecological studies have focused on the distribution of tardigrades within moss samples (e.g., Nelson 1975;Nelson and Adkins 2001;Jönsson 2003;Degma et al 2011;Guil et al 2009) and only Morgan and Lampard (1986), Miller et al (1988), Bartels and Nelson (2007) and Guil et al (2009) have presented studies on the relationship between lichens and tardigrades. Morgan and Lampard (1986) found seven species of tardigrade in four species of lichen.…”

“…Regardless of their ability to disperse with ease and high abundance, tardigrades are habitat-dependent in a similar way to larger animals (Guil et al 2009). Many limnoterrestrial species are ecologically specialized and able to survive only in particular microenvironmental conditions.…”

“…Posiblemente, la gran exposición y el calor de las ciudades conducen a una evaporación más rápida (Glime, 2013) haciendo su microclima menos favorable para la fauna de tardígrados. A ello se le suma el avance de la urbanización que produce destrucción de microhábitats que reducen las poblaciones y la biodiversidad del grupo, ya que los tardígrados muestran una fuerte selección por el hábitat (Guil et al, 2009), pudiendo en algunos casos llegar a la extinción de algunas especies, incluso antes de que sean conocidas para la ciencia (Vicente, 2010). Es decir, el decremento de la diversidad observada en los hábitats urbanos sería el producto directo de las actividades antrópicas que producen pérdida de riqueza de especies, y de la uniformidad de las comunidades (Magurran & McGill, 2011).…”

“…En la búsqueda de indicadores hay que tener en cuenta el papel de los microhábitats en la distribución de animales microscópicos, ya que microhábitats con condiciones ambientales aparentemente similares localizadas dentro de una misma región, a menudo exhiben poblaciones diferenciadas ya sea en términos de densidad y/o riqueza de especies (Nelson, 2002;Guil et al, 2009;Bertolani et al, 2009). A partir de nuestro estudio, la presencia de Macrobiotus hufelandi, y posiblemente también Milnesium sp., en los hábitats urbanos y los cambios que puedan experimentar en sus densidades poblacionales nos permitiría monitorear variaciones en las condiciones ambientales de la ciudad.…”
