Bryozoans are an important part of the benthic marine fauna in a wide variety of modern
environments and are found in rock forming abundance in a number of settings throughout …

Bryozoans have played a significant ecological role in many shallow marine benthic
communities since the Ordovician and are important contributors to carbonate sediment …

The importance of modes of skeletal growth and factors of intracolony variation in the
evolution and systematics of Bryozoa is being recognized by an increasing number of …

Bryozoa are among the most abundant yet least understood of phyla in the fossil record.
These exclusively colonial animals can be traced back to the Ordovician as fossils and are …

The authors argue that the growth pattern and form of the colony in many bryozoans is an
adaptive strategy rather than a stable genetic character." Bryozoan Evolution is profusely …

Recognition of discrete taxa is an enduring problem in the biological sciences, especially for
taxonomists who work with groups that display a great degree of homeomorphy at low …

The extent to which perceived patterns of evolution are affected by the use of single
characters versus overall morphology or measured versus counted and coded characters is …

Astogenetic trajectories have constrained evolutionary changes in bryozoans. Rates and
timing of astogenetic differentiation have been modified for characters defining the …

The cool temperate carbonate sediments of eastern and western Tasmania and Bass Strait

Ever since their first radiation in the Ordovician, bryozoans have contributed significantly to
