Ecology of endolithic bryozoans: colony development, growth rates and interactions of species in the genus Immergentia

Abstract Boring bryozoans dissolve calcium carbonate substrates, leaving unique borehole traces. Depending on the shell type, borehole apertures and colony morphology can be diagnostic for distinguishing taxa, but to discriminate among species their combination with zooidal morphology is essential....
