Ancient and modem genomes unravel the evolutionary history of the rhinoceros family
CELL, 184(19), 4874-+.
MeSH headings : Animals; Demography; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Flow; Genetic Variation; Genome; Geography; Heterozygote; Homozygote; Host Specificity; Markov Chains; Mutation / genetics; Perissodactyla / genetics; Phylogeny; Species Specificity; Time Factors

The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long-term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate deciduous forest
Vecchi, M., Kossi Adakpo, L., Dunn, R. R., Nichols, L. M., Penick, C. A., Sanders, N. J., … Guidetti, R. (2021, June 29). ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, Vol. 6.
author keywords: climate change; experimental; global warming; Tardigrades; water bears
TL;DR:
Results are in line with previous experimental studies, indicating that tardigrades may not be directly affected by ongoing global warming, possibly due to their thermotolerance and cryptobiotic abilities to avoid negative effects of stressful temperatures, and the buffering effect on temperature of the soil litter substrate.
