Bryozoans are aquatic animals that form colonies of connected individuals. They take a variety of forms: some are bushy and moss-like, some are flat and encrusting and others resemble lace. Bryozoans are mostly marine, with species found in all oceans from sublittoral to abyssal depths, but freshwater species also exist. Some bryozoans are of concern as marine-fouling organisms and invasive species, while others show promise as sources of anticancer, antiviral and antifouling substances. Written by experts in the field, Australian Bryozoa Volume 1: Biology, Ecology and Natural History is the first of two volumes describing Australia’s 1200 known species of bryozoans, the richest diversity of bryozoans of any country in the world. It contains chapters on the discovery of bryozoans, their morphology, classification and fossil history, their roles in biosecurity and marine benthic environments, and potential uses in biotechnology and ocean acidification. It provides an authoritative reference for biology students, academics and others interested in marine biology.

Two volumes published concurrently describing Australia's 1200 known species of bryozoans. The first volume comprehensively covers the history, biology, morphology, ecology, life history and economic impacts of bryozoans. The second volume contains detailed taxonomic data and illustrated family-level treatments, which can be used to identify specimens. Both volumes are illustrated throughout with scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showing intricate details of bryozoan biology and morphology. --Publisher features.

With an account of over 6.000 recent and 15.000 fossil species, phylum Bryozoa represents a quite large and important phylum of colonial filter feeders. This volume of the series Handbook of Zoology contains new findings on phylogeny, morphology and evolution that have significantly improved our knowledge and understanding of this phylum. It is a comprehensive book that will be a standard for many specialists but also newcomers to the field of bryozoology.

The present volume contains the results of researches on the Post-Oligocene fossil bryozoa of North America and forms the concluding part of our studies on the Tertiary and Quaternary faunas, those of the Eocene and Oligocene epochs having been published in 1920 under the title of North American Early Tertiary Bryozoa. The present work, like the companion volume on Early Tertiary faunas, was undertaken under the joint auspices of the United States Geological Survey and United States National Museum. Almost without exceptiion all the type specimens described and illustrated in the present volume are contained in the paleontological collections of the United States National Museum.
