Land, M./ A. Musto/ W. R. Miller/ D. E. Starkey/ J. D. Miller 2012: Tardigrades of the University of Central Arkansas Campus, Conway, AR. - Southeastern Naturalist 11(3): 469-476. [RLL List # 231 / Rec.# 34639]
Abstract: Tardigrades were recovered from samples of moss and lichen growing on the bark of seven species of trees on the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) campus in Conway, AR. Of the 11 genera of tardigrades previously reported from the state, five were found in the UCA campus samples; of the 25 species previously reported, five were found in the UCA campus samples. Two species (Milnesium eurystomum, Macrobiotus polyopus) are new records for the state; one species of Echiniscus (arctomys group) could not be identified and may be new. Tardigrades were not uniformly distributed among available habitats (moss, lichen) or substrates (trees).
