In a new paper published yesterday in Zoological Studies, Daniel Stec described two new tardigrade species using integrative taxonomy. The first of the described species was named after Diego Fontaneto, a collaborator of Daniel and a meiofauna specialist working at the Water Research Institute (Verbania, Italy). The second species was named after journalist, historian, and culinary expert Robert Makłowicz, who lives in Kraków and sometimes does his shopping not far from the Institute. Both species are characterized by curious ornamented eggs.
