The genome sequence of an erect bryozoan, Bugulina stolonifera (Ryland, 1960) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from a Bugulina stolonifera colony (an erect bryozoan; Bryozoa; Gymnolaemata; Cheilostomatida; Bugulidae). The genome sequence is 235 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of the sea mat, Membranipora membranacea (Linnaeus, 1767) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from an adult colony of Membranipora membranacea (the sea mat; Bryozoa; Gymnolaemata; Cheilostomatida; Membraniporidae). The genome sequence is 339 megabases in span.

Unprecedented frequency of mitochondrial introns in colonial bilaterians [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Animal mitogenomes are typically devoid of introns. Here, we report the largest number of mitochondrial introns ever recorded from bilaterian animals. Mitochondrial introns were identified for the first time from the phylum Bryozoa.

Seek and ye shall find: new species and new records of Microporella (Bryozoa, Cheilostomatida) in the Mediterranean [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2021
The Mediterranean specimens of the genus Microporella collected from shallow water habitats during several surveys and cruises undertaken mostly off the Italian coast are revised. As a result of the disentanglement of the M.

Morphospecies and molecular diversity of ‘lace corals’: the genus Reteporella (Bryozoa: Cheilostomatida) in the central North Atlantic Azores Archipelago [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background As in most bryozoans, taxonomy and systematics of species in the genus Reteporella Busk, 1884 (family Phidoloporidae) has hitherto almost exclusively been based on morphological characters.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Membranipora villosa Hincks, 1880 (Bryozoa: Gymnolaemata: Cheilostomatida): phylogenetic relationship of two kelp-encrusting bryozoans within the suborder Membraniporina [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
The two commonest kelp-encrusting bryozoans, Membranipora villosa and M. membranacea, are difficult to distinguish morphologically. Molecular studies of M. villosa should thus be helpful for the identification of both species because the mitogenome of M.

The genome sequence of the red ripple bryozoan, Watersipora subatra (Ortmann, 1890) [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Watersipora subatra (the red ripple bryozoan; Bryozoa; Gymnolaemata; Cheilostomatida; Watersiporidae). The genome sequence spans 783.70 megabases.

Unlocking Mediterranean bryozoan diversity: seven new species unveiled after fixing a neotype for Fenestrulina malusii (Audouin & Savigny, 1826) (Cheilostomatida, Fenestrulinidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys
Fenestrulina malusii (Audouin & Savigny), the type species of Fenestrulina Jullien, is among the most widely reported bryozoans globally. Following the loss of the original type material, presumed Mediterranean in origin based on Savigny’s ...

Revealing the diversity of Parasmittina Osburn, 1952 (Bryozoa, Cheilostomatida) from the Southwest Atlantic: Species complexes, non-native and new species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Parasmittina is the most representative cheilostome genus of the family Smittinidae, often reported in the fouling non-indigenous marine community. Here, we present a review of Parasmittina species reported in the Southwestern Atlantic including the ...
