Hi All,

I've been searching high and low for a reference where it states just how
long a tardigrade can survive in an anhydrobiotic state. I have seen it
mentioned on several occasions that some individuals were successfully
revived from dry herberium moss samples after ca. 120 years, however cannot
find the actual reference. Can any body help?

best wishes for 2002

Steve
