• Origins and early evolution of arthropods (2014, background): “This renews the Tactopoda hypothesis (= Tardigrada + Arthropoda) originally formalized by Budd (2001) based on appendage structure.”
• Higher-level metazoan relationships: recent progress and remaining questions (2011, background): “Although some similarities, e.g. the myoepithelial cells in the pharynx bulb, have long been observed among nematodes, tardigrades and loriciferans (Kristensen 2003), the standard morphological position of tardigrades over the past decade or two has been in the context of panarthropod monophyly, wit”
