Morphology of ctenostome bryozoans: 5. Sundanella, with description of a new species from the Western Atlantic and the Multiporata concept. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2022 Sundanellid ctenostomes are a little investigated group of ctenostome bryozoans of ambiguous phylogenetic affiliation. In this study, we describe the soft‐body morphology of sundanellids from two localities, Singapore and Florida, to find characters elucidating the detailed anatomy of these animals and find characters supporting its relationship to ...

Key novelties in the evolution of the aquatic colonial phylum Bryozoa: evidence from soft body morphology. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2020 ABSTRACT Molecular techniques are currently the leading tools for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships, but our understanding of ancestral, plesiomorphic and apomorphic characters requires the study of the morphology of extant forms for testing these phylogenies and for reconstructing character evolution.

Boring systematics: A genome skimmed phylogeny of ctenostome bryozoans and their endolithic family Penetrantiidae with the description of one new species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBetter resolving ctenostome bryozoan systematics is crucial in understanding bryozoan evolution in general. Ctenostomes are a paraphyletic group of soft bodied bryozoans with a wide ecological diversity, including endolithic (boring) forms like Penetrantia.

Morphology of ctenostome bryozoans: 1. Arachnidium fibrosum. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2020 Schematic drawing of a zooid of Arachnidium fibrosum. Abstract The morphology of ctenostome bryozoans remains little investigated with only few species having been subject to more detailed studies. From all the seven main different superfamilies, only few representatives have been studied.

O anus, where art thou? An investigation of ctenostome bryozoans. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2020 Extended and retracted bryozoan zooids with lophophoral and vestibular anus. Abstract Ctenostome bryozoans are a small group of approximately 350 currently described species that remain inadequately investigated anatomically. Recently, the importance of soft body morphology of zooids including the digestive tract has become more evident for addressing ...

Sexual reproduction of the placental brooder Celleporella hyalina (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata) in the White Sea. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2019 Histological sections of the female polymorphic zooids of Celleporella hyalina showing consecutive stages of embryonic growth and embryophore (placental analogue) development in the brood chamber (ovicell). Early embryo and placental analogue in the early stage are seen in the upper image.

Morphology of ctenostome bryozoans: 3. Elzerina, Flustrellidra, Bockiella. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2021 Schematic drawings of the alcyonidioid ctenostomes Flustrellidra hispida, Elzerina binderi, and Bockiella sp. Abstract 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 dealing with the morphology of this clade of bryozoans.

A revision of the ctenostome bryozoan family Pherusellidae, with description of two new species
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 963-980, July 2021., 2021 This study revises the ctenostome bryozoan family Pherusellidae by analyzing soft‐body morphological characters. Two new species Pherusella minima sp. nov. from the Mediterranean Sea and Pherusella liowae sp. nov. from Singapore are described. Abstract Pherusellid ctenostomes are a little‐investigated clade of bryozoans comprising three described ...

Eutaleola, a replacement name for the homonym Euteleia (Bryozoa: Pasytheidae)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010 Eutaleola nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Euteleia Marcus, 1938 (Bryozoa: Cheilostomata), a secondary homonym of Euteleia Raffray, 1904 (Arthropoda: Coleoptera).
