Marine zoologist interested in bryozoans

[Thomas Schwaha @TSchwaha]

very proud of @SH_Decker for defending his PhD thesis last week on boring bryozoans. Great work Basti! 🍻🍻

[Thomas Schwaha @TSchwaha]

Finally out: https://t.co/4Mx2ZsY6rQ
a collaborative approach on the first growth data on boring bryozoans. with @Sarah_TheSea @moostiere @SH_Decker

Finally out! Boring systematics on endolithic bryozoans and other ctenostomes. Big thanks to all my collaborators: @ahmedjoudahnass C. Baranyi @moostiere @Sarah_TheSea @AndySombke @faguilgen @lmanzoni @AbbyOtago @BryoEvolution @TSchwaha

Finally out. Two years ago we rediscovered Monobryozoon ambulans from its type locality, Helgoland. Read more about its morphology and phylogenetic position here. with @SH_Decker @ahmedjoudahnass and Christian Baranyi

@faguilgen @morphonews you will get another manuscript very soon ;)

@AntoniettaRoss2 I was not taking any samples just images in the field while diving. Need to get permits for indonesia tho ;) But it would be very interesting for sure

This beautiful bryozoan colony belongs to the genus Triphyllozoon (probably to the species trifoliatum). It seem to be widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific region as I encountered it in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia and always co-occurs with a hydrozoan

Boring bryozoans!
Delighted to finally see this baby online. Big thanks to all my collaborators for their support @moostiere @Sarah_TheSea Piotr Kuklinski @hamishgspencer @AbbyOtago and @TSchwaha

Our annual marine biology course on Helgoland was a great success again, thanks to @TSchwaha, @AndySombke and 12 super motivated students 🐟🐚🦀🐬🦐🐌🦑

@TSchwaha Boronis ;)

[Thomas Schwaha @TSchwaha]

Alcyonidium mammilatum, Phoronis ovalis and Monobryozoon ambulans. Nice critters in our Helgoland course

One month of fieldwork on Guam comes to an end and it has been a blast. Found plenty of bryozoans and watched my Penetrantia grow, while other amazing reef creatures watched me.
Thanks to @Sarah_TheSea

The bryodiversity of Dahab, Egypt still holds many surprises. I encountered more than 30 different bryozoan species over the years. Here a small collection @Dahab #Bryodiversity

The unique pseudocyphonautes of Flustrellidra hispida is approximately 1 mm in width and one of largest bryozoan larva. This peculiar larval type is only present in two relatively unknown ctenostome bryozoan families and a rather rare sighting.

@TSchwaha life of a marine biologist be like ;)

[Sebastian Decker @SH_Decker]

@jethroreading32 I rather think the latter

Are the earliest bryozoans... actually seaweeds?

Our new material finds a new place for dasyclad algae in the Cambrian explosion.
