Modern Data on the Innervation of the Lophophore in Lingula anatina (Brachiopoda) Support the Monophyly of the Lophophorates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Evolutionary relationships among members of the Lophophorata remain unclear. Traditionally, the Lophophorata included three phyla: Brachiopoda, Bryozoa or Ectoprocta, and Phoronida.

A Classification of Protective Structures in Fossil Bryozoans

Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки
The protective structures of bryozoans representing four orders—Trepostomata, Cryptostomata, Fenestrata, and Cheilostomata—were analyzed and classified for the first time based on functional criteria.

Brachiopod and mollusc biomineralisation is a conserved process that was lost in the phoronid–bryozoan stem lineage

EvoDevo, 2022
Background Brachiopods and molluscs are lophotrochozoans with hard external shells which are often believed to have evolved convergently. While palaeontological data indicate that both groups are descended from biomineralising Cambrian ancestors, the ...

The Overlooked Suspension Feeders: The Filtering Activity of the Bryozoans Schizoporella errata and Bugula neritina in the Northern Adriatic

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine fouling communities, characterized by a high abundance of suspension feeders, play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem services, particularly in improving seawater quality. While not typically prioritized in conservation due to their prevalence

Proliferating activity in a bryozoan lophophore

PeerJ, 2020
Bryozoans are small benthic colonial animals; their colonies consist of zooids which are composed of a cystid and polypide. According to morphological and molecular data, three classes of bryozoans are recognized: Phylactolaemata, Gymnolaemata and Stenolaemata.
