Extraordinary fossils solve a 500-million-year mystery: Bryozoans were there at the dawn of animal life
Extraordinary fossils solve a 500-million-year mystery: Bryozoans were there at the dawn of animal life Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Bryozoans are tiny, filter-feeding colonial invertebrates that thrive in the world's oceans today, yet for decades their origins presented a puzzling gap in the fossil record. While nearly every other major animal group made its first appearance during the Cambrian explosion roughly 530 million years ago, the bryozoan fossil...

High-fidelity modular skeletons authenticate a Cambrian origin for Bryozoa
Nature, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10590-9Exquisite early Cambrian fossils of Protomelission gatehousei and Dayingomelission hexaclitia preserve soft-tissue anatomy and skeletal microstructure, confirming that these taxa are definitively bryozoans and indicating a deeper origin for the Bryozoa than was first apparent.
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
