ANNOTATED TAXONOMIC KEY to the FAMILIES of TERRESTRIAL and FRESHWATER TARDIGRADES The following dichotomous Key has been developed from the works of Ramazzotti & Maucci; 1983; Schuster et al., 1980; Nelson, 1991; and Kinchin, 1994. It is intended for use to identify the common tardigrades found during the International Tardigrade Survey. It does not dwell on the rare and infrequent groups.
TO USE THIS KEY When you make a decision to the question in the first line of the couplet, follow the path defined at the bottom of that side of the couplet. Sometime this will be a Go To # that will be another decision couplet and sometimes it will be a Family Name. In either case, click on the # or name to see the detail of the next step or detailed drawings, pictures, and descriptions of the selected Family.
In the drawings used to annotate the Key we may use terms not familiar to
you. If this is the case, simply click on the term and a definition and
or additional drawings will pop up to help you understand it.
