Delighted to have been part of this collaboration with Thomas Schwaha, Dennis Gordon and De Blauwe Hans that revised the position of the amphibious #bryozoan Amphibiobeania on the tree of life. So satisfying when morphology and molecules agree. doi.org/10.1002/jmor.2… Science at the Natural History Museum

I’m very pleased to see the first paper of my PhD published! Finally, morphological data of lophopodids reveal unique characters + help ground pattern reconstruction of phylactolaemate bryozoans.#bryozoan #phylax Thomas Schwaha Kasetsart University Universität Wien 💪🥹👉bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The unique pseudocyphonautes of Flustrellidra hispida is approximately 1 mm in width and one of largest bryozoan larva. This peculiar larval type is only present in two relatively unknown ctenostome bryozoan families and a rather rare sighting. Station Biologique de Roscoff #Bryozoans #Bryozoology

Unbelievable Plymouth City Council and totally unacceptable.

Really enjoyed teaching these PhD students during the Natural Environment Research Council-funded course ‘Introduction to #Phylogenetics’ at Natural History Museum, led by Suzanne Williams, co-taught by @Ronaldffs @tendersombrero Ollie White Anne Ashwini V Mohan ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ 🦎🧬🙋🏾‍♀️ Bonnie Webster Peter Olson Aidan Emery

#FossilFriday Just a few millimetres in size, the type specimen of Fasciculipora waltoni from the Middle Jurassic of Bath now in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. This beautiful cyclostome bryozoan species was described by Jules Haime as long ago as 1854 but remains poorly known.

This makes my heart sink…

#FossilFriday The Cincinnatian Series in the US is renowned for its superb bryozoan fauna, exemplified by this trepostome Dekayella from the collections of the NHMUK. Note the borings adding further interest.

One for the weekend: the spinose cheilostome bryozoan Celleporaria building a tube with a very prickly surface for its hermit crab symbiont. New Zealand.

It is with great pleasure we award Dr Paul Taylor The Palaeontographical Society Medal in recognition of his extraordinary long-term and continuing contributions to palaeontology in the British Isles and the wider world particularly on bryozoans and other invertebrates,

Finally out! Boring systematics on endolithic bryozoans and other ctenostomes. Big thanks to all my collaborators: @ahmedjoudahnass C.

I must share this absolutely magnificent paper on the abyssal bryozoans of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (sadly under threat from possible deep-sea mining) by Andrei Grischenko, Dennis Gordon and Viacheslav Melnik doi.org/10.11646/zoota…
