The selection of ponds followed the criteria that they had to be small, between 20 and 500 m2, situated below 50 m above sea level, isolated from other water catchments, and preferably within 1 km of nearest marine coastline.

All isolated individuals were identified using a compound microscope to species level when possible, if not to genus level. The identification characters for bdelloids are only visible on active individuals and animals were processed immediately after collecting the samples. We identified the first 100 animals isolated from each sample. The study in Norway, Agder county, covered the areas of Arendal, Kristiansand, Lista, Mandal and Risør. Samples consisted of 250 ml of water collected with a plastic bottle directly from the shores, including floating detritus, vegetation, submerged moss and sediment. In addition, samples of dry mosses were collected above the waterline. DNA data was extracted from a selected number of animals to confirm species identification.
