Biomineralization in bryozoans: present, past and future
Many animal phyla have the physiological ability to produce biomineralized skeletons with
functional roles that have been shaped by natural selection for more than 500 million years …

Pliocene seasonality across the North Atlantic inferred from cheilostome bryozoans
T Knowles, PD Taylor, M Williams, AM Haywood… - Palaeogeography …, 2009 - Elsevier
