Proliferating activity in a bryozoan lophophore [PDF]
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 ...

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

Morphology of the bryozoan Cinctipora elegans (Cyclostomata, Cinctiporidae) with first data on its sexual reproduction and the cyclostome neuro-muscular system [PDF]
Background Cyclostome bryozoans are an ancient group of marine colonial suspension-feeders comprising approximately 700 extant species. Previous morphological studies are mainly restricted to skeletal characters whereas data on soft tissues obtained by ...
