Bryozoan Studies 2022 presents nineteen captivating papers presented at the 19th International Conference of the International Bryozoology Association, held at Trinity College Dublin in August 2022. Bryozoans, these intricate and fascinating colonial organisms, span from the Cambrian era to the present day and can be found inhabiting marine and freshwater environments across the globe, from polar regions to subtidal depths and abyssal zones. Recent advancements in tomographic techniques have revolutionized the study of modern and fossil taxa, unveiling their internal structures through non-destructive methodologies. In this captivating exploration, we delve into the internal structure of some Ordovician and Eocene taxa, utilizing these innovative methods. Phylogenetic studies of bryozoans challenge the traditional classification of this group, providing insights into the phylogeny of species from California and Japan. Other captivating topics covered include assessments of Recent faunas from Haiti, fossil assemblages from Mexico and the United States, distributional patterns from the Arctic and New Zealand, and the dispersal patterns of bryozoans on rafted pumice and on slipper lobsters. Furthermore, additional contributions offer descriptions of a rare Permian taxon, clarification of species assigned to the Upper Palaeozoic genus Stenopora, avicularia in Wilbertopora, enigmatic structures in a fenestrate bryozoan, repair structures in trepostomes, and an assessment of skeletonization in the families of Palaeozoic orders.
