'The form and functions of the avicularia of Bugula (phylum Ectoprocta)' -- subject(s): Animal colonies, Bryozoa, Bugula

Ectoprocta, also known as bryozoans, is a phylum of strictly marine animals with no freshwater or terrestrial forms. These colonial filter-feeders build hard exoskeletons and are found in oceans worldwide.

Often there is a consensus of just over 30. Some 'splitter' taxonomists have higher estimates, with Edward O. Wilson suggesting 85. The ones that most people recognise include: Porifera Placozoa Cnidaria Ctenophora Nematomorpha Nemertea Nematoda Annelida Rotifera Platyhelminthes Cycliophora Gastrotricha Loricifera Hemichordata Sipuncula Priapulida (may have been demoted to a class) Entoprocta Ectoprocta Mollusca Arthropoda Urochordata Echinodermata Cephalochordata Chordata

3. Chordata [which is the phylum humans belong in.]
