Depauperate survival bryozoans following the first episode of the end-Ordovician mass extinction in the Kuanyinchiao Bed (Hirnantian, Upper Ordovician) of northern Guizhou, South China

Few bryozoan faunas have been reported globally from the time of the late-Ordovician mass extinction (LOME). A depauperate bryozoan fauna from the Kuanyinchiao Bed of North Guizhou Province, South China are de...

Bryozoans from the Early Ordovician Fenhsiang Formation (Tremadocian) of South China and the early diversification of the phylum

Although phosphatized bryozoans have been described recently from the early Cambrian, the first unequivocal bryozoan fossils with hard skeletons are known from the Ordovician. Recent discoveries of bryozoans i...

Supplementation with a prebiotic (polydextrose) in obese mouse pregnancy improves maternal glucose homeostasis and protects against offspring obesity

We hypothesised that maternal diet-induced-obesity has adverse consequences for offspring energy expenditure and susceptibility to obesity in adulthood, and that the prebiotic polydextrose (PDX) would prevent ...

Evaluating potential factors influencing branch diameter and skeletal Mg-calcite using an Antarctic cyclostome bryozoan species

Environmental and biological factors play important roles in determining the skeletal morphology and mineralogy of modular colonial organisms such as bryozoans. The broad bathymetrical ranges of Antarctic bryo...

Interactions between Cryptosula and Watersipora (Bryozoa: Cheilostomata) on a ship’s hull in Qingdao Harbour (South Yellow Sea) after five and a half years of immersion

The distributions of two ubiquitous fouling cheilostome bryozoans, Cryptosula pallasiana (Moll, 1803) and Watersipora sp., on a ship moored for almost six years in Qingdao Bay show differences with respect to ill...

On rediscovered types of Santonian cheilostome bryozoans described by Ehrhard Voigt (1924, 1930) from the Subhercynian Cretaceous Basin and its surroundings

Type material of three bryozoan species first described by Ehrhard Voigt in his early publications of 1924 and 1930 has been rediscovered. All bryozoan material described by Voigt between 1923 and 1942 was pre...

Mineralogy of cheilostome bryozoans across the Eocene–Oligocene boundary in Mississippi, USA

Different cheilostome bryozoan species construct their skeletons from calcite, aragonite, or a combination of these two minerals. Calcite is the primitive biomineral in cheilostomes, but an increasing number o...

A new species of the cheilostome bryozoan Chiastosella in the Southern Ocean, past and present

Understanding whether marine calcifying organisms may acclimatise to climate change is important with regard to their survival over the coming century. Due to cold waters having a naturally higher CO₂ uptake, th...
