TR–treatment; MA–measures of activity; SA–success of anhydrobiosis (number of specimens and % of all found, not damaged and forming correct tun specimens); NM–number of non-moving (dead) tardigrades; NFA–number of individuals that didn’t reach full activity during time of observation; FM–time required for the first movement of any first individual; FMA–time required for first movement of all individuals; FA–time required for return to full activity of the first individual; FAA–time required for all individuals to return to full activity. Values given in table include all experimental replicate dishes within a given research group for a given duration of the tun stage.
