Bryozoa
are
among
the
most
abundant
yet
least
understood
of
phyla
in
the
fossil
record.
These
exclusively
colonial
animals
can
be
traced
back
to
the
Ordovician
as
fossils
and
are
common
elements
of
sediments
deposited
in
shallow
marine
environments.
On
occasion
their
calcareous
skeletons
are
sufficiently
numerous
to
produce
bryozoan
limestones.
The
potential
of
bryozoans
in
facies
analysis,
and
their
use
in
macroevolutionary
studies,
have
both
been
widely
recognised,
but
to
date
have
been
incompletely
exploited.Bryozoan
Paleobiology
brings
together
the
scattered
research
on
living
and
fossil
bryozoans
in
broad
and
profusely
illustrated
overview
that
will
help
students
and
researchers
alike
in
understanding
this
fascinating
group
of
animals.
Beginning
with
the
basics
of
bryozoan
morphology,
ecology
and
classification,
the
book
progresses
from
the
smallest
scale
of
skeletal
ultrastructure,
to
the
largest
of
bryozoan
distributions
in
time
and
space.
On
the
way,
topics
such
as
the
origin
of
zooidal
polymorphism
and
macroevolutionary
trends
in
colony
forms
are
covered.
Case
studies
illuminate
these
topics,
and
areas
in
which
further
research
is
particularly
required
are highlighted.
