Bryozoa are a colonial animal phylum with a long evolutionary
history, having existed from the early Ordovician (480 My) onward
and still flourishing today. Several mass extinctions in earth
history shaped and triggered bryozoan evolution through drastic
turnover of faunas and new evolutionary lineages. Bryozoa are
widespread across all latitudes from Equator to Polar Regions and
occur in marine and freshwater environments. They are shaping
benthic ecosystems and recording ambient environmental conditions
in their skeletons. The book provides a synthesis of the current
main topics of research in the field of Bryozoology including
combined research on both extant, and extinct taxa. Fields or
current research span molecular genetics and phylogeny, life
history, reproduction and anatomy, biodiversity and evolutionary
patterns in time and space, taxonomy, zoogeography, ecology,
sediment interactions, and climate response.
