Bryozoan Studies 2019
BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson & Kamil Zágoršek Czech Geological Survey 1 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 2 Dedication This volume is dedicated with deep gratitude to Paul Taylor. Throughout his career Paul has worked at the Natural History Museum, London which he joined soon after completing post-doctoral studies in Swansea which in turn followed his completion of a PhD in Durham. Paul’s research interests are polymatic within the sphere of bryozoology – he has studied fossil bryozoans from all of the geological periods, and modern bryozoans from all oceanic basins. His interests include taxonomy, biodiversity, skeletal structure, ecology, evolution, history to name a few subject areas; in fact there are probably none in bryozoology that have not been the subject of his many publications. His office in the Natural History Museum quickly became a magnet for visiting bryozoological colleagues whom he always welcomed: he has always been highly encouraging of the research efforts of others, quick to collaborate, and generous with advice and information. A long-standing member of the International Bryozoology Association, Paul presided over the conference held in Boone in 2007. 3 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Contents Kamil Zágoršek and Patrick N.

It is not even well understood if it merits subordinal or ordinal rank. No prior phylogenetic attempts have uncovered the evolutionary history of the group. This cladistic study uses genera from many different published sources that have been placed within this order/suborder at any given time. The character list that was used to code each individual genus was developed from a variety of published sources and also some were developed independently during the research and coding process of this study. -
Biomineralization and Evolutionary History Andrew H
1 111 Biomineralization and Evolutionary History Andrew H. Knoll Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 U.S.A. INTRODUCTION The Dutch ethologist Niko Tinbergen famously distinguished between proximal and ultimate explanations in biology. Proximally, biologists seek a mechanistic understanding of how organisms function; most of this volume addresses the molecular and physiological bases of biomineralization. But while much of biology might be viewed as a particularly interesting form of chemistry, it is more than that. Biology is chemistry with a history, requiring that proximal explanations be grounded in ultimate, or evolutionary, understanding. The physiological pathways by which organisms precipitate skeletal minerals and the forms and functions of the skeletons they fashion have been shaped by natural selection through geologic time, and all have constrained continuing evolution in skeleton-forming clades. In this chapter, I outline some major patterns of skeletal evolution inferred from phylogeny and fossils (Figure 1), highlighting ways that our improving mechanistic knowledge of biomineralization can help us to understand this evolutionary record (see Leadbetter and Riding 1986; Lowenstam and Weiner 1989; Carter 1990; and Simkiss and Wilbur 1989 for earlier reviews). Figure 1. A geologic time scale for the past 1000 million years, showing the principal time divisions used in Earth science and the timing of major evolutionary events discussed in this chapter. Earlier intervals of time—the Mesoproterozoic (1600–1000 million years ago) and Paleoproterozoic (2500– 1600 million years ago) eras of the Proterozoic Eon and the Archean Eon (> 2500 million years ago)— are not shown.

Mode of Growth and Functional Morphology of Autozooids in Some Recent and Paleozoic Tubular Bryozoa
Mode of Growth and Functional Morphology of Autozooids in Some Recent and Paleozoic Tubular Bryozoa SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO PALEOBIOLOGY NUMBER 8 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S. -
Paleobiogeographic Associations Among Mississippian Bryozoans
PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATIONS AMONG MISSISSIPPIAN BRYOZOANS BY Ryan FitzGerald Morgan A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Geological Sciences 2010 i ABSTRACT PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATIONS AMONG MISSISSIPPIAN BRYOZOANS BY Ryan FitzGerald Morgan Area cladograms produced by parsimony analysis of endemicity coupled with seriation, paired group cluster, principal coordinates, and detrended correspondence analyses demonstrate endemic associations of Mississippian-age bryozoans. These methods identified three major biogeographic associations (North America I, North America II, and Old World Realms), and nine minor associations (Waverly, Keokuk, Warsaw, Burlington, St. Louis, Chester, Tethys I, Tethys II, Russia, Kazakhstan-Siberia Provinces). These associations, along with latitudinal diversity gradients, provide support for an early closure of the tropical seaway (Rheic Ocean) that existed between Laurussia and Gondwana, along with support for faunal shifts due to the onset of Gondwanan glaciation and the restriction of North American faunas from the more eastern Tethyan faunas. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my mother, Christena Morgan, in recognition of her encouragement, support, and gift of an inquisitive mind. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to first acknowledge Dr Robert L Anstey, both for all the help and guidance he has supplied over the course of my education and this thesis, and also for providing the push to engage in this field of study. I would also like to acknowledge my wife, Christina L Gurski, who has spent many long hours listening to me ramble about all sorts of ideas, and for providing much needed distraction from this thesis; if not for her it would have been completed ages ago. -
Late Ordovician) of Estonia
The Earliest Giant Osprioneides Borings from the Sandbian (Late Ordovician) of Estonia Olev Vinn1*, Mark A. Wilson2, Mari-Ann Mo˜ tus3 1 Department of Geology, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia, 2 Department of Geology, The College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio, United States of America, 3 Institute of Geology, Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia Abstract The earliest Osprioneides kampto borings were found in bryozoan colonies of Sandbian age from northern Estonia (Baltica). The Ordovician was a time of great increase in the quantities of hard substrate removed by single trace makers. Increased predation pressure was most likely the driving force behind the infaunalization of larger invertebrates such as the Osprioneides trace makers in the Ordovician. It is possible that the Osprioneides borer originated in Baltica or in other paleocontinents outside of North America.
