“…We integrated new data from the current study with recent (e.g., Krzeminska et al, 2016; Loxton et al, 2018) and older mineralogy data from cheilostome and cyclostome bryozoans worldwide previously summarized by Smith et al (2006) and Taylor et al (2009). Available mineralogical data from genera with undetermined species, and also known species from the White Sea which has unusual conditions that may mask temperature influence (Krzemińska et al, 2022), were removed from the analyses (see Tables S2–S4). The global dataset comprised 549 species (102 Southern Ocean species, excluding six genera with indeterminate species).…”

“…In recent years significant efforts have been put into increasing data on skeletal mineralogy in a wide range of bryozoan species from Arctic (Iglikowska et al, 2020;Krzemińska et al, 2022;Piwoni-Piórewicz et al, 2019), temperate (e.g., Loxton et al, 2014b;Smith and Clark, 2010;Steger and Smith, 2005), tropical (Taylor et al, 2016;Taylor & Di Martino, 2014), and Antarctic (Figuerola et al, 2015(Figuerola et al, , 2019Krzeminska et al, 2016;Loxton et al, 2013;Loxton, Kuklinski, Barnes, et al, 2014) regions. However, several reviews have pointed out that mineralogy is known only for a small proportion of living species at all latitudes (Smith et al, 2006;Taylor et al, 2009).…”

The Southern Ocean is showing one of the most rapid responses to human-induced global change, thus acting as a sentinel of the effects on marine species and ecosystems. Ocean warming and acidification are already impacting benthic species with carbonate skeletons, but the magnitude of these changes to species and ecosystems remains largely unknown. Here we provide the largest carbonate mineralogical dataset to date for Southern Ocean bryozoans, which are diverse, abundant and important as carbonate producers, thus making them excellent for monitoring the effects of ocean warming and acidification. To improve our understanding of how bryozoans might respond to ocean warming and acidification, we assess latitudinal and seafloor temperature patterns of skeletal mineralogy using bryozoan species occurrences together with temperature data for the first time. Our findings, combining new mineralogical data with published data from warmer regions, show that the proportions of high-Mg calcite and bimineralic species increase significantly towards lower latitudes and with decreasing seawater temperature. These patterns are consistent with the hypothesis that seawater temperature is likely a significant driver of variations in bryozoan mineralogy at a global scale.

AimQuantify the contribution of environmental factors (water temperature, salinity and depth) and evolutionary history to varied skeletal mineralogy in calcifying marine organisms.LocationGlobal Ocean.Time periodPresent.Major taxa studiedOrder: Cheilostomatida; Phylum: Bryozoa.MethodsWe employed X‐ray diffraction (XRD) to analyse the skeletal mineral composition of 872 individual colonies, representing 437 bryozoan species, in terms of calcite/aragonite ratios. We integrated these data with equivalent published data, thus reaching 981 species, and applied linear models (LMs), generalized linear models (GLMs) and phylogenetic generalized least squares models (PGLSs) to investigate the influences of temperature, salinity, depth and phylogenetic history on the mineralogy of nearly 1000 cheilostome bryozoan species.ResultsCheilostome bryozoans vary considerably in their skeletal mineral composition: in our dataset 65% of the species possess purely calcite skeletons, 15% exclusively employ aragonite and 20% exhibit mixed (i.e. calcite and aragonite) mineralogies. Temperature is the predominant measured environmental factor influencing bryozoan skeletal mineralogy, accounting for 20% of its variability across species, when phylogenetic relatedness is unaccounted for. Bryozoans in lower latitudes, characterized by higher seawater temperatures, have higher aragonite concentrations. By accounting for phylogenetic structure using a subset of 87 species for which we have topological information, 40% of the observed mineralogical variability could be attributed to present‐day temperature. In contrast, depth and salinity played minor roles, explaining less than 1% of the mineralogical variation each.Main conclusionsThis study emphasizes the influence of evolutionary history on the mineralogical variability of calcifying organisms, even when it can be shown that a single environmental factor (temperature) explains a substantial amount of this variability. When confronted with changing temperature, calcifiers such as bryozoans are likely to respond in diverse ways, depending on the species, given their phylogenetic relatedness and the external conditions they meet.
