	Ectoprocta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ectoprocta are a phylum of lophophorate animals.
		Generally, the members of the ectoprocta phylum are colonial aquatic animals (also known as moss animals).
		The Ectoprocta are one of the few classical phyla from which no members have been found in the Cambrian.

		In the majority of Ectoprocta there is no stolon, the zooids growing out of one another and being usually apposed so as to form continuous sheets or branches.
		The zoarium may rise up into erect growths composed of a single layer of zoojds, the orifices of which are all on one surface, or of two layers of zooids placed back to back, with the orifices on both sides of the fronds or plates.
		The development of the Ectoprocta is intelligible on the hypothesis that the Entoprocta form the starting-point of the series.

		Ectoprocta is classified by itself because, according to Margulis and Schwartz (1998), there is a disappearance of the larval stage during metamorphosis, therefore, it can not be completely certain that the Ectoprocta has a true coelom.
		A main difference in comparing the two Phyla was that Ectoprocta have an anus on the lophophore and it is not considered to be true because it does surround both the mouth and the anus (Pennack,1953; Margulis and Schwartz, 1998).
		As shown in the cladogram, Ectoprocta has fewer derived characteristics from the common ancestor and this is due to the uncertainty of whether or not they have a pseudo or true coelom.

		Holt (2000) states that the main difference between the Entoprocta and Ectoprocta lies in the loss of the mesentaries in the coelomic cavity.
		The Entoprocts have spiral cleavage and the Ectoprocts divide by radial cleavage (Meglitsch and Schram, 1991).
		The Ectoprocta also have a mouth in the center and an anus outside of the lophophore, a condition opposite from the Entoprocta (Holt, 2000).

	Picture of the Week: Ectoprocta (bryozoans)
		Bryozoans, traditional phylum name Bryozoa, new phylum name Ectoprocta, are often commonly known as moss animals.
		These animals are rapid colonziers and colourful additions to reef habitats, forming calcareous encrustations to continental shelf frameworks and inshore rocks.
		The marine representatives, one of the most poorly known groups of marine invertebrates, can be found in great abundance and diversity in the correct environmental conditions.

	Bryozoans by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com
		Bryozoans are often overlooked by casual observers, such as beachcombers or amateur naturalists, and probably because of this, I don't know of any of them that has a useful common name.
		The group is known taxonomically as the Phylum Bryozoa or the Phylum Ectoprocta.
		I prefer to use Bryozoa when referring to the group, but that is simply a matter of personal choice to avoid the term Ectoprocta, which is similar to the name of another phylum called the Entoprocta.

		Three phyla of marine animals, Ectoprocta, formally Bryozoa, Brachiopdoa and Phoronida, are characterized by a lophophore, a circular or U-shaped ridge around the mouth bearing either one or two rows of ciliated, hollow tentacles.
		Phylum Ectoprocta (Bryozoa) look like tiny short versions of the phoronoids..small.5mm and colonial and called moss animals.
		The new name, ectoprocta refers to the location of the anus (proct) which is external to the lophophore.

	The Bryozoans (Phylum Bryozoa)
		These animals are now known as the Entoprocta and are distinguished by having their anus inside the space enclosed by their ring of tentacles.
		The rest of the Bryozoans, now officially called the Ectoprocta have their anus outside of their ring of tentacles.
		However they are often still referred to as Bryozoans or even as Moss Animals because the colonies of some species look a lot like moss.

	Cycliophora is a new phylum with affinities to Entoprocta and Ectoprocta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The structure and function of the cilia suggest a phylogenetic position in Protostomia, while some aspects of inner budding and brooding of larvae are similar to those of Entoprocta and Ectoprocta.
		The dispersive larva possesses a mesodermal supporting chordoid structure, otherwise absent in protostomian larvae.
		We believe that all the above features of this previously undescribed species warrant the recognition of a new phylum with affinities to Ectoprocta and Entoprocta.

	BIS: European Limnofauna > Species: Phylum Entoprocta
		The freshwater lophophorate species do not form a monophyletic unit, but comprise two separate phyla, the Ectoprocta (Bryozoa) and the Entoprocta (Entoprocta).
		Resemblance with the Ectoprocta is only superficial, while entoprocts may also be mistaken for hydroids.
		Within the Entoprocta, the anus is situated on the circular lophophore (originally the ventral surface of the free-living larva), and a simple protonephridial system is present.

		Bryozoans are small marine and freshwater animals which comprise the Phylum Ectoprocta.
		Of the three classes of ectoprocta bryozoans, by far the best known is Gymnolaemata, with several thousand species, mostly marine, many documented in an extensive fossil record.
		In contrast, the Phylactolaemata has only about seventy named species, all extant and found exclusively in fresh water.

		Bryozoa ("Moss animals") are tiny creatures with a ring of tentacles surrounding the mouth.
		The phylum Bryozoa has been divided into several phyla that are quite likely unrelated: the Ectoprocta, the Entoprocta, and the Cycliophora.
		Almost always the first of the three is meant.

		This organism is not from outer space, nor is it the result of mutations caused by radioactivity from nuclear power plants; Pectinatella magnifica is a member of the animal phylum Ectoprocta (common names: bryozoans, moss animals), a group with a fossil record extending back to the upper Cambrian (500,000,000 years ago!).
