Shows the remarkable filter-feeding strategies that are exhibited by both freshwater and marine bryozoans. Introduces lesser-known branches of the phylum such as gastrotrichs, tardigrades (water bears), nemerteans, and a recently discovered phylum, Gnathostomulida, which lives deep in the ocean sands
