The Timing of Egg-laying in Macrobiotid Species (Tardigrada) on the Island of Newfoundland
Previous sampling of lichens and mosses on the island of Newfoundland has not located any macrobiotid (family Macrobiotidae) eggs, which are often crucial to the positive identification of adults of this family, particularly Macrobiotus and Minibiotus species. Because recent studies have established...
