Meet Harmeria scutulata! We don't see this species often (or at all) these days. Registered (Norwegian) specimens are pretty much 50-100 years old, and we actually have no recent record of this species here in Norway as far as I know. #Bryozoa #NorDigBryo

Wrote a blog post about our workshop at the Espegrend Marine Station last week! #Bryozoa #NorDigBryo @bryozoology.bsky.social @hardbunnsfauna.bsky.social www.nhm.uio.no/english/rese...

Pre-registration for the Oslo Larwood #bryozoan is open. Welcome to Oslo 1-3 June 2026. @nhmbryozoa.bsky.social @bryozoology.bsky.social @tschwaha.bsky.social Link to registration in comment under.

Congratulations to Abby Smith and Patrick Wyse Jackson, who were awarded the Ellis Medal at this year's International Bryozoology Meeting in Japan in recognition of their outstanding and honourable service to the community.

🌊 Phylum Friday: Bryozoa! 🌊 These small colonial organisms are usually found encrusting rocks or blending in with algae. However, many of the species found in New England are invasive, and have become a concern for intertidal and subtidal ecosystems as they encrust and out-compete native species.
