How Does a Bryozoan Colony Divide Labor Among its Modules
Meeting Abstract P1-122 Thursday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 How Does a Bryozoan Colony Divide Labor Among its Modules? TREIBERGS, KA; Harvard University, Cambridge, MA ktreibergs@g.harvard.edu Bryozoans are a diverse phylum of marine and freshwater colonial invertebrates containing over 5,000 described living species. Bryozoans grow by budding of new colony members (zooids) from a metamorphosed larva, however, […]
