Upper diagonal: p values; Lower diagonal: F values; 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–first movement of all individuals; FA–time required for return to full activity of the first individual; FAA–time required for return to full activity of all individuals; italics–data standardised before the analysis.
