O anus where art thou An investigation of ctenostome bryozoans
Meeting Abstract 105-6 Monday, Jan. 6 14:45 – 15:00 O anus where art thou? An investigation of ctenostome bryozoans SCHWAHA, T; University of Vienna, Department of Integrative Zoology thomas.schwaha@univie.ac.at Defecation is a common process of removing undigestible food resources that can be quite copious in suspension feeders. In bryozoans the anus is situated outside of the food […]
