Scope note: Filo de invertebrados ecdisozoos microscópicos, estrechamente relacionados con los ARTRÓPODOS. Sus miembros presentan anabiosis y criptobiosis, estados durmientes de actividad reducida o nula, lo que les hace tolerantes a condiciones ambientales extremas. Están mundialmente distribuidos y la mayoría son semiacuáticos.

Scope note: A phylum of microscopic ecdysozoan invertebrates, closely related to ARTHROPODS. Members exhibit anabiosis and cryptobiosis, dormant states where metabolic activity is reduced or absent, thus making them tolerant to extreme environmental conditions. They are distributed worldwide and most are semi-aquatic.
