zooid

Each discovers a vitality beyond the usual limits of life: the first, in the delicate rhythm of autumnal oak leaves, and the second in the marine foliage of a 'seaweed' actually composed of small organisms, or zooids. Ruskin's Snake's-Head Fritillary (Fig.

Bryozoan colonies are made from very small repeating box-like units called zooids. They can be as big as 1mm across, but usually they are smaller.

BotryUoides leachii is a sessile suspension-feeding ascidian that lives in clonal colonies of adults, termed zooids, that organize in a series of ladder-like parallel rows, known as systems (Fig.

Bryozoans are small benthic aquatic invertebrates growing as colonies of connected zooids on submerged substrates (Massard and Geimer, 2008; El-Sorogy, 2015).

It means that during their evolution, the siculozooid became larger, while zooids were small in size and reduced in numbers (Kozlowska-Dawidziuk 2004, fig.

Approximately 40 zooids of each fragment, separated under stereomicroscope and washed in 50mL MilliQ water, were used for DNA extraction.

To determine the types and to count the zooids in each sample, we used counting chambers, a light microscope, and a stereoscope.

A few forms (e.g., Charniodiscus) contain tiny tubes which may have housed zooids, implying these were sea pens (Phylum Cnidaria).

celleporoides in the morphology of the avicularia (defensive zooids), and a new genus resembling Dysnoetopora in constructing branched, 'celleporiform' colonies but having feeding zooids with an orificial sinus.

Individual zooids, as the component clones are called, specialize and cooperate to swim and hunt together as a single creature.

Stomach contents of 88 zooids of Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman 1880 and the qualitative and quantitative composition of phytoplankton in the water column were studied in Santa Fe (North Coast of Havana) and Punta del Este (SW of Cuba).
