Genera

See classification

The Cribrilinidae family is a part of the suborder Ascophora within the bryozoans. They are characterized by numerous spinose ribs (costae) overarching the frontal membrane of each zooid.

The family was first described by Thomas Hincks in 1879. [1]

Classification

The diverse nature of the large number of genera included in this family (115) may require it to be split into several families.

One species, Amphibiobeania epiphylla, is the only known amphibious bryozoan known as of 2008/09.

<i>Bugula neritina</i> Species complex of marine animal

Bugula neritina is a cryptic species complex of sessile marine animal in the genus Bugula. It has a practically cosmopolitan distribution, being found in temperate and tropical waters around the world, and it has become an invasive species in numerous locations. It is often found in hard substrates, such as rocks, shells, pillars and ship hulls, where it can form dense mats, contributing to biofouling. B. neritina is of biomedical interest because it harbors a bacterial symbiont that produces a group of bioactive compounds with potential applications in the treatment of numerous diseases.
