- Summary:
-
Bryozoa are aquatic invertebrate animals which form colonies by repeated budding of communicating members. They are found throughout the world in lakes, rivers and oceans, including the Arctic and Antarctic, however Australia probably has more than any other continent. They first appeared 5,000,000,000 years ago and their skeletons form a major part of some rocks. About 15,000 fossil and 5,000 living species are known, with more being discovered annually. They are an important fouling organism and some species are resistant to anti-fouling paints.
- Biography/History:
-
The Bryoza Section at the British Museum (Natural History) directly under, successively, Sir Sidney Harmer, Anna Hastings, Patricia L. Cook with P.J. Hayward and P.J. Chimonides, has carried out important work on the identification of Australian species and maintained a lengthy correspondence with Australian scientists working in the field.
