Abstract:Horneridae (Cyclostomata; Cancellata) is a family of marine bryozoans that form tree-like colonies bearing functionally unilaminate branches. Colony development in this clade is not well understood. We used micro-CT and SEM to trace zooidal budding in Hornera from the ancestrula onwards. Results show that hornerid branches are constructed by dual zooidal budding modes occurring synchronously at two separate budding sites at the growing tips. Frontal autozooids bud from a multizooidal budding lamina. Lateral au… Show more
