Urban Тardigrades from Plovdiv City and Some Ecological Remarks

There is insufficient data on urban tardigrade distribution, diversity and density. The present paper is based on preliminary data of an ongoing research of tardigrade diversity and ecology in Plovdiv region. Specimens from family Macrobiotidae Thulin, 1928, from genus Milnesium Doyère, 1840, from Ramazzotius Binda and Pilato, 1986 and from genus Echiniscus Schultze, 1840 were discovered.
