Modularity is a fundamental concept in biology. Most taxa within the colonial invertebrate
phylum Bryozoa have achieved division of labour through the development of specialized …

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 & …

Bryozoans are a moderately diverse, mostly marine phylum with a fossil record extending to
the Early Ordovician. Compared to other phyla, little is known about their phylogenetic …

Ctenostome bryozoans are a small group of bryozoans whose soft‐tissue morphology has
received only little attention. The present study represents the third in a series of articles …

Abstract Knowledge of the marine bryozoan fauna of Uruguay is mostly based on scattered
records found in local faunistic surveys and the taxonomic results of two oceanographic …

In this study we introduce one new genus and five new species of cheilostome bryozoans
based on material collected mainly at bathyal depths in the Subantarctic Southwest Atlantic …

Four Atlantic species of the flustrid genus Hincksina Norman, 1903, which were introduced
during the 19 th and early 20 th century, are redescribed and imaged: Hincksina flustroides …

With an account of over 6.000 recent and 15.000 fossil species, phylum Bryozoa represents
a quite large and important phylum of colonial filter feeders. This volume of the series …

Cope's Rule describes increasing body size in evolutionary lineages through geological
time. This pattern has been documented in unitary organisms but does it also apply to …

Ctenostome bryozoans are unmineralized and mostly marine. Their lack of calcified skeletal
features requires other characters to be considered for systematic and phylogenetic …
