Although only a small fraction of the estimated 6000 extant bryozoan species has been
analysed in a molecular phylogenetic context, the resultant trees have increased our …

Genera assigned to the cheilostome bryozoan family Onychocellidae are revised based on
the skeletal morphology of the type species and, when possible, the type material of these …

Cheilostomes dominate bryozoan faunas today and are the only order of bryozoans to have
evolved aragonitic, calcitic, and bimineralic skeletons. New XRD analyses of 177 recent …

Abstract The Levant Basin (SE Mediterranean) is the most exposed to the introduction of non-
indigenous species. The current assessment of exotic bryozoans present along the coast of …

The Phylum Bryozoa has a long and extensive fossil record (Fig. 2.1) counting ca 15,000
fossil species (Horowitz & Pachut 2000, Gordon et al. 2009). Their remnants are found in the …

Among calcified bryozoans, cheilostome bryozoans have fundamentally box-like zooids,
compared with the fundamentally tubular zooids of cyclostomes. Cheilostomes usually …

Cheilostomata is the most diverse and ecologically dominant order of bryozoans living
today. We apply a Bayesian framework to estimate macroevolutionary rates of cheilostomes …

Four cribrilinid bryozoans associated with deep-water corals (578–682 m depth) from the
Great Bahama Bank slope, are described, two of them are new. The generic allocation of …

Among the extant bryozoan suborders, Cheilostomata Busk, 1852a accounts for about 90%
of all species, which are classified into about 139 families and 700 genera (eg Bock & …

The rich bryozoan fauna living in the sea around New Zealand at the present day is among
the best known globally. However, despite the abundance of bryozoans in Cenozoic …
