Bryozoan Studies 2022 contains nineteen papers presented at the
19th International Conference of the International Bryozoology
Association held at Trinity College Dublin in August 2022.
Bryozoans are complex and fascinating colonial organisms that range
from Cambrian to the present day and which are found in marine and
freshwater environments from pole to pole and subtidal to abyssal.
Recent tomographic techniques have revolutionised the study of
modern and fossil taxa where internal structures are revealed
through non-destructive methodologies. Here the internal structure
of some Ordovician and Eocene taxa is illustrated through these
methods. Phylogenetic studies of bryozoans question the classic
classification of the group; here the phylogeny of species from
California and Japan is described. Other topics covered are
assessments of Recent faunas from Haiti and fossil assemblages from
Mexico and the United States. Distributional patterns from the
Arctic and New Zealand and the dispersal patterns of bryozoans on
rafted pumice and on slipper lobsters are characterised. Further
contributions provide descriptions of a rare Permian taxon,
clarification of species assigned to the Upper Palaeozoic genus
Stenopora, avicularia in Wilbertopora, enigmatic structures in a
fenestrate bryozoan, repair structures in trepostomes, and an
assessment of skeletonisation in the families of Palaeozoic orders.
