According to the Webster's third new international dictionary of the English Language, "anabiosis" is a synonym of "anhydrobiosis" and this latter term also means "life away from water (of a usually aquatic organism)." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, however, "anabiosis" is not a synonym for "anhydrobiosis" but means "A coming to life again, the power which certain organisms possess of regaining vital activity after being dried and heated," a concept closely related to that of "reviviscence" and of which the French equivalent is "anabiose" (or "réviviscence"). 2, record 1, English, - anhydrobiosis

L'anhydrobiose est l'état normal de la graine aussi longtemps qu'elle n'est pas dans un milieu favorable à la germination, tel qu'un sol humide et aéré. C'est aussi l'état de nombreux organes pérennants végétaux ou animaux pendant le gel hivernal. Mais l'anhydrobiose caractérise surtout les mousses, les lichens et leur faunule de nématodes, de rotifères et de tardigrades pendant les périodes de sécheresse chaude. 1, record 1, French, - anhydrobiose

Ne pas confondre avec «anabiose», qui se rapporte au retour à la vie consciente après un temps plus ou moins long de vie végétative, ou à la vie potentielle d'un organisme (par exemple à une température anormalement basse), et avec «reviviscence» (ou «réviviscence») qui se rapporte à la propriété que possèdent certains êtres inférieurs (animaux ou végétaux, comme certains infusoires, des bactéries, des mousses, des spores) de reprendre l'activité de la vie quand on leur rend l'eau nécessaire. 2, record 1, French, - anhydrobiose

Tardigrade, any of a group of tiny arthropod-like animals characterized by four pairs of stubby legs ending in large claws, a stout body, rounded back, and lumbering gait. They are also known as "water bears." ... Their most striking feature is their ability to temporarily enter a nearly lifeless state known as anabiosis, which helps them survive environmental extremes. ... Tardigrades are most commonly found in association with the water film on mosses, liverworts, and lichens. ... Tardigrades use a pair of oral stylets, or needle-like mouthparts, to pierce the walls of plant cells and feed on the liquid inside. 2, record 3, English, - anabiosis
