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

18S rDNA amplicon sequence data (V1–V3) of the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, Central Pacific [PDF]
To address the global biodiversity crisis, standardized data that are rapidly obtainable through minimally invasive means are needed for documenting change and informing conservation within threatened and diverse systems, such as coral reefs.

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

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.

Cheilostomatida (Bryozoa) from the Ionian Apulian coast (Italy) with the description of new species
The mesophotic zone is a relatively poorly studied area of the Mediterranean Sea, drawing great interest by the scientific community in the last years.

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.

Species of the cellariid genus Melicerita Milne Edwards develop bilaminar flattened colonies consisting of alternate transverse rows of hexagonal zooids. In South America, its stratigraphic range extends from the early Miocene to the Recent.

NEW DEEP-SEA BRYOZOAN SPECIES FROM THE PLEISTOCENE OF SOUTHERN ITALY
Two new species: Tervia barrieri (Cyclostomatida) and Heliodoma angusta (Cheilostomatida) together with the subspecies Crisia tenella Calvet longinodata (Cyclostomatida) are described from Pleistocene deep-sea sediments cropping out in Southern Italy ...

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