FIG. 9 in Biodiversity of bathyal coral gardens - portrait of a uniserial bryozoan endemic to the South Azorean Seamount Chain: an unexpected evolutionary testbed?

FIG. 9. — Harmelinius uniserialis (Harmelin, 1978), vicarious kenozooids: A, drawing of two interconnected KZ, laterally budded by 2 AZ; B, light photography of the same zooids; C, part of colony with seven variously shaped KZ connected to several AZ; D, two differently sized KZ budded from the lateral walls of two AZ; E, pentagonal KZ with proximal corner folded on the budding locus of the maternal zooid; F, frontal wall of a large KZ with central window open on a thick, multilayered wall, surrounded by seven porous knobs. Distansescharella d'Orbigny, 1853: G, D. alcicornis (Jullien, 1882), large vicarious KZ with central window, abutted on to an AZ and close to an adventitious avicularium; H, D. seguenzai Cipolla, 1921, reticulum formed by three small KZ with a central window surrounded by 2-5 conical spinous processes with a likely porous tip; I, D. alcicornis, avicularium with opesia and rostrum poorly differentiated, and proximal side folded on the maternal zooid. Origin: A, B, Azores, São Miguel bathyal slope, Biaçores Stn 197, 815 m (9A copied from Harmelin 1978, fig. 2); C, F, Hyères SMT, Stn DW 200; D, E, Tyro SMT, Stn DW 276; G, I, R/V Thalassa, Y434, 620 m, on Lophelia prolifera (Linnaeus, 1758); H, R/V Calypso, Stn 1902, Libya. Scale bars: A, B, D, F, 200 µm; C, 400 µm; E, G, H, 100 µm; I, 50 µm.
