Besides α-taxonomy, which started, albeit with a certain delay, soon after the first discovery of tardigrades and which continues unabatedly, tardigrade research was dominated almost from the beginning by two topics, i.e. (1) anabiosis or abiosis or, the more modern term, cryptobiosis and here especially anhydrobiosis (the ability many tardigrades share with other organisms such as the metazoan taxa rotifers and nematodes, in which this phenomenon was detected earlier than in tardigrades) and (2) possible relationships to other organims;
