Soil Nematodes and Desiccation Survival in the Extreme Arid Environment of the Antarctic Dry Valleys

Soil nematodes are capable of employing an anhydrobiotic survival strategy in response to adverse environmental conditions. The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica represent a unique environment for the study of anhydrobiosis because extremes of cold, salinity, and aridity combine to limit biological...
