VII International
Symposium on Tardigrada
The
congress was attended by 35 researchers from
8 countries from three continents (Asia,
Europe and North America). During the three days of the meeting
21
talks and 11 posters were presented.
This was
the first time a tardigrade conference was held in Germany.
