Taxonomic monograph reveals the distribution, habitats, and updated classification of limno-terrestrial Tardigrada across Africa, establishing a baseline for continental biodiversity studies.
This paper is the fourth monograph in a series that describes the global records of limno-terrestrial water bears (Tardigrada). Here, we provide a comprehensive list of non-marine tardigrades recorded from Africa, providing an updated and revised taxonomy accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, habitat, and biogeographic comments. It is hoped this work will serve as a reference point and background for further zoogeographical and taxonomical studies.
