The epithelial layers of the body wall in hornerid bryozoans (Stenolaemata: Cyclostomatida). [PDF]

J Morphol, 2022
In Cyclostomatida, the typical coelomate body‐wall composition (epidermis–ECM–coelothelium) is retained in the tentacle sheath and attachment zones of the membranous sac in the form of: [skeleton]–tendon cell–ECM–coelothelium. Elsewhere the ECM is detached from the epidermis, which, itself, has no basement membrane and often lacks cell continuity and ...

DeepBryo: A web app for AI‐assisted morphometric characterization of cheilostome bryozoans

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 21, Issue 9, Page 542-551, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Bryozoans are becoming an increasingly popular study system in macroevolutionary, ecological, and paleobiological research. Members of this colonial invertebrate phylum display an exceptional degree of division of labor in the form of specialized modules, which allows for the inference of individual allocation of resources to reproduction ...

Spatio‐temporal patterns of eukaryotic biodiversity in shallow hard‐bottom communities from the West Antarctic Peninsula revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 7, Page 892-911, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim We studied molecular eukaryotic biodiversity patterns in shallow hard‐bottom Antarctic benthic communities using community DNA metabarcoding. Polar ecosystems are extremely exposed to climate change, and benthic macroinvertebrate communities have demonstrated rapid response to a range of natural and anthropogenic pressures.

Testing small‐scale ecological gradients and intraspecific differentiation for hundreds of kelp forest species using haplotypes from metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 13, Page 3355-3373, July 2021., 2021
Abstract DNA metabarcoding has been increasingly used to detail distributions of hundreds of species. Most analyses focus on creating molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) from complex mixtures of DNA sequences, but much less common is use of the sequence diversity within these MOTUs.

Large‐Scale Environmental Drivers of Kelp Biofouling Based on Literature Data

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.
Our findings from data compiled from a systematic literature review and databases of marine data show that kelp biofouling species are linked to environmental conditions and specifically temperature for bryozoans, salinity for gastropods, and the type of kelp population (wild vs. not wild) for hydrozoans.

Assessment of Octocoral‐Dominated Benthic Assemblages Along a Mesophotic Gradient, With a Focus on the Impact of Lost Fishing Gears

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Coralligenous, a typical Mediterranean mesophotic habitat, is a highly diverse assemblage, severely threatened by several stressors, including fishing litter. To characterise the coralligenous of the upper mesophotic of the Portofino Promontory (Ligurian Sea, Italy), video transects at 35 and 50 m depth were performed at four sites.

Skeletal mineralogy of marine calcifying organisms shaped by seawater temperature and evolutionary history—A case study of cheilostome bryozoans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Quantify the contribution of environmental factors (water temperature, salinity and depth) and evolutionary history to varied skeletal mineralogy in calcifying marine organisms. Location Global Ocean. Time period Present. Major taxa studied Order: Cheilostomatida; Phylum: Bryozoa.
