文摘

The Eighth International Symposium on Tardigrada was hosted by the Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen and held at the August Krogh Institute from 30 July to 5 August 2000. There were 65 participants at the symposium. Like its predecessors, the symposium presented oral presentations and posters on a wide variety of tardigradological themes, and several invited speakers gave special keynote lectures about molecular biology, computer cladistics, phylogeny, cryptobiosis and palaeontology. Fifty four abstracts were published in the “Booklet of Abstracts” edited by Jesper G. Hansen. The 41 papers appearing in this special issue of Zoologischer Anzeiger represent most of the contributions presented in Copenhagen. Furthermore, a workshop on Arctic Tardigrades was held at Danish Arctic Station, Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland from, 7 to 18 August 2000. There were 15 participants on this Greenlandic Adventure.
