Popis: | Members of the phylum Brachiopoda are predominantly sessile, filter-feeding marine invertebrates with a bivalved shell that, in adult life, is functionally divided into inhalant and exhalant chambers by a ciliated, tentaculate curtain-like feeding organ or lophophore. One subphylum is commonly known as ‘lamp-shells’. Keywords: brachiopoda; lophophore; inarticulate brachiopod; articulate brachiopod; phoronida |
