The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein fingerprints. These may be used to assign uncharacterised sequences known families and hence infer tentative functions. September 2002 release (version 36.0) includes 1800 fingerprints, encoding ∼11 000 motifs, covering range globular membrane proteins, modular polypeptides so on. In addition its continued steady growth, we report here the development an automatic supplement, prePRINTS, designed increase coverage resource reduce some manual...
Mass extinctions are recognized through the study of fossil groups across event horizons, and from analyses long-term trends in taxonomic richness diversity. Both approaches have inherent flaws, data that once seemed reliable can be readily superseded by discovery new fossils and/or application analytical techniques. Herein current state Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) biostratigraphical record is reviewed for most major clades, including: calcareous nannoplankton, dinoflagellates, diatoms,...

Abstract Although only a small fraction of the estimated 6000 extant bryozoan species has been analysed in molecular phylogenetic context, resultant trees have increased our understanding interrelationships between major groups, as well bryozoans and other metazoan phyla. Molecular systematic analyses failed to recover L ophophorata monophyletic clade until recently, when phylogenomic data placed B rachiopoda sister formed by P horonida + ryozoa. Among bryozoans, class hylactolaemata shown...
Based on the examination of type and newly discovered specimens, scope calloporid genus Pyriporoides Hayward & Thorpe, 1989 is expanded to include Daisyella Gordon, 1989. All species have colonies branching uniserial runners acleithral ovicells that are borne and/or develop concurrently with a distal heterozooid, not autozooid. The ooecial heterozooid usually kenozooidal but can be avicularian. Correlated characters include, inter alia: raised granular rim encloses generally well-developed...
The cheilostome bryozoan family Steginoporellidae in New Zealand comprises seven living species of Steginoporella. Three these are new to science-Steginoporella discors n. sp., Steginoporella lineata sp. and modesta sp.-and one (Steginoporella magnifica) additionally occurs as a Plio-Pleistocene fossil. A Early Pleistocene fossil species, tiara is also recognised. exhibit the full range colonial morphologies known for genus, two deep-shelf taxa described herein have smallest colonies, both...
Abstract Bryozoans (also known as ectoprocts or moss animals) are aquatic, dominantly sessile, filter-feeding lophophorates that construct an organic calcareous modular colonial (clonal) exoskeleton 1–3 . The presence of six major orders bryozoans with advanced polymorphisms in lower Ordovician rocks strongly suggests a Cambrian origin for the largest and most diverse lophophorate phylum 2,4–8 However, lack convincing bryozoan fossils from period has hampered resolution true origins...
Calcareous tube-worms generally identified as Spirorbis range from Ordovician to Recent, often profusely encrusting shells and other substrates. Whereas Recent is a polychaete annelid, details of tube structure in pre-Cretaceous ‘ ’ suggest affinities with the Microconchida, an extinct order possible lophophorates. Although characteristically Palaeozoic, microconchid survived Permian mass extinction before being replaced late Mesozoic ecosystems by true . stenohaline but spirorbiform...
Watersipora subtorquata (d'Orbigny, 1852) has been widely reported as a fouling species from tropical to temperate waters. The continued confusion over the correct name for this led us provide redescription of d'Orbigny's type Cellepora subtorquata, and make comparisons with other Watersipora. We show that majority specimens assigned W. subovoidea are morphologically distinct recently erected neotype subovoidea; these here reidentified subtorquata. Other previously belong subatra (Ortmann,...
Bryozoans are a key group of sessile invertebrates in some reef frameworks but typically neglected environmental monitoring programs. Abrolhos Bank (Brazil) is the largest complex South Atlantic Ocean, encompassing several landscapes over an area 46,000 km2. A transition takes place across shelf from mangroves to soft sediments, coastal shallow reefs volcanic archipelago – surrounded by fringing and unique mushroom-shaped biogenic structures, with mesophotic pinnacle reefs, rhodolith beds,...
Abstract Many animals and plants that colonize hard surfaces in the sea are sessile either bore into, or cement themselves permanently to substrate surface. Because they retain their life positions after fossilization, these sclerobionts offer scope for studying biotic interactions fossil record. Encrusting compete actively living space, with dominant competitors overgrowing edges of subordinates. In addition such marginal overgrowths, spatial competition may also occur through fouling which...
Beginning in December 2015, an unknown bryozoan with large, deep-orange colonies began to appear the Eastern Harbour of Alexandria, Egypt. Here we identify species as belonging predominantly Indo-Pacific cheilostome genus Calyptotheca Harmer, 1957 and describe it a new species, alexandriensis n. sp. The exhibits intensive growth sporadically on different hard substrata, including rocks, submerged concrete walls, ropes, ships’ hulls, metal pipes supporting marina piers. It is restricted...
Microporella Hincks, 1877 is one of the most diverse genera cheilostome bryozoans, containing more than 150 named species. Distributed globally since early Miocene, majority species have sheet-like colonies encrusting hard and / or ephemeral substrates, while a limited number erect bifoliate starting from an base. Herein, four nominal (M. bifoliata, M. hastigera, hyadesi ordo) are revised, new Pliocene tanyae sp. nov.) three Recent ordoides nov., lingulata nov. modesta formally described....

A macroevolutionary model is developed to account for the "adaptive radiation"; of cheilostome bryozoans that commenced in Cenomanian after a long phase low diversity. Living species possess one two types larvae; planktotrophic (cyphonautes) larvae relatively duration, and brooded non‐planktotrophic (coronate) short duration. Planktotrophic characterize paraphyletic "malacostegans"; from which "advanced"; cheilostomes with are thought have evolved monophyletically. Research on other marine...
