Bryozoans 🔍

Bryozoans are a group of eukaryotic animals that include clams, oysters, and barnacles, which are commonly found in freshwater environments.

Phyllocoptinae 🔍

Phyllocoptinae is a family of extinct phylum that includes the most closely related phyla, including the clade of the bryozoans and the class of the mollusca.

Ptycholomoides 🔍

Ptycholomoids are a type of bryozoan that have a single cell and do not form a shell like other bryozoans. They are characterized by their small size and unique appearance, often appearing as tiny, elongated structures with a rounded shape. These bryozoans mainly inhabit freshwater environments and are known for their role in the food chain of aquatic ecosystems.

Barycnemis 🔍

Barycnemis is a genus of marine bryozoans that belong to the family Brymidae. They are characterized by their unique, elongated bodies with multiple arms or legs. These organisms play an important role in marine ecosystems as they facilitate the growth and development of phytoplankton through their symbiotic relationships.

Speomolops 🔍

Speomolops is a genus of marine echinoderm fish, commonly known as clownfish or clown bryozoans, that are found in various freshwater and saltwater habitats worldwide. These small, brightly colored fish have distinctive bell-shaped fins and can grow up to 12 inches long.

Exochotrigona 🔍

Exochotrigonae is a group of organisms classified by their ability to form exoskeletons, which are composed primarily of mineral fibers and other organic matter. This includes both single-celled and multicellular organisms like chitin and chondrichthyans, as well as some marine animals such as echinoderms and bryozoans.

Thoracostomopsidae 🔍

The term "Thoracostomopsidae" is a group of organisms belonging to the order Ectophyta, commonly known as bryozoans. These organisms are characterized by their cephalopod-like bodies with an internal sac called a thorax that contains numerous tentacles and spines.

Pteropodinae 🔍

Pteropods are a class of bryozoans that belong to the family Pteropoda. These bryozoa are characterized by their unique, egg-shaped bodies and can be found in many different environments, including water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. Pteropodinae is a genus within the Pteropoda family, which includes several families of bryozoans that have been named for their unique characteristics and evolutionary history.

Epsilogaster 🔍

Epsilogaster is a type of bryozoan that exhibits a unique pattern on its body, resembling an elongated eggshell. This characteristic distinguishes it from other bryozoans, which typically have flattened bodies or no shell at all.

Allogromiida 🔍

Allogromiida is a group of organisms that are derived from a common ancestor in the phylum Chlorophyta, which includes algaes and some bryozoans. These organisms have evolved to live on other plants or algae, often through symbiotic relationships with these plant species.

Dinobryon 🔍

Dinobryon is a group of isotopes found in certain types of rock, such as bryozoans and dinoflagellates, which are part of the dinoflagellate phylum. These isotopes are primarily used for dating purposes, particularly in archaeological studies.

Archasteridae 🔍

The term "Archasteridae" refers to a group of bryozoans, including archaerid and archaerolithids. These animals are known for their unique skeletons that contain large numbers of tiny structures called arches. They have a wide range of adaptations, including the ability to form large colonies or assemblages in shallow water habitats.

Cryptobranchus 🔍

Cryptobranchus is a type of animal that lives in or on rocks, typically containing a single organ system, such as a brain, heart, and lungs, without any other organs. This unique structure is often found in marine organisms like bryozoans and crustaceans. Cryptobranchs are important for their role in the food web by providing essential nutrients to larger organisms, including fish and crustaceans.

Monochasma 🔍

Monochasma is a type of bryozoan that has only one cell wall, often forming in colonies or spicules. These bryozoans are characterized by having a single cell with a complex structure and a unique pattern of spines on their epidermis.

Glacidorbidae 🔍

Glacidorbidae is a group of small, marine air-breathing animals that include ctenophores, such as sea anemones and bryozoans, which are part of this order. These animals have a unique respiratory system called the glaucophore, which allows them to breathe through their bodies in water instead of on land.

Inachoididae 🔍

Inachoids are a group of unicellular organisms that belong to the family Chondrichthyes, which also includes chondrozoans and bryozoans. They are characterized by their spherical shapes, which give them a distinctive appearance. These inachids are commonly found in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, and streams.

Psathyrotinae 🔍

Psathyrotinae are a group of two species of bryozoans, belonging to the family Psathyroidea, which include several genera and species that are known for their unique adaptations in feeding on various organisms. These bryozoans primarily feed on algae, fungi, and other microorganisms, often utilizing their spines as a defense mechanism against predators or competitors.

Perlodinella 🔍

Perlodinella is a genus of bryozoans, typically found in freshwater habitats such as lakes and ponds. These bryozoans are characterized by their elongated, segmented bodies that resemble small fish. They have a single pair of arms at the base of each segment, which they use for movement. The body is covered in a series of fine, white spines that help protect them from predators. Perlodinella can grow up to 30 mm long and are known

Botryosphaeriaceae 🔍

Bryozoans, a group of prokaryotic plants that include bryophytes (plants with leaves), gymnosperms (coniferous trees) and angiosperms (flowering plants).

Graptodytes 🔍

Graptodytes is a genus of bryozoans that belongs to the family Graptodontidae. These bryozoans are characterized by their distinctive spiral-shaped gills, which they use for gas exchange and feeding.
