Reconstructing the neuromuscular ground pattern of phylactolaemate bryozoans: new data from the Lophopodidae
Abstract Background The solely freshwater inhabiting Phylactolaemata is a sister taxon to all other bryozoans. Among phylactolaemates, Lophopodidae represents an early branching clade that is therefore crucial for ground pattern reconstruction. While more recent morphological data of most phylactola...
