Wind-borne distribution

No wind-borne ("aeolic") distribution?--Wetman (talk) 20:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One of my source does mention this for statoblasts - thanks for making me check again. --Philcha (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is Plumatellida the only order in this class? SP-KP (talk) 09:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only extant order - have not checked extinct ones known only from fossils. Thanks for asking, you prompted me to fix a hole in Bryozoa as well! --Philcha (talk) 09:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Statoblast

I split a chunk of text fromt his article out to form a statoblast article (as statoblasts are mentioned in various other articles without any description). I think the text I took across is correct as a general thing, but if you know more about it please can you give that page a quick look to check there is nothing stupid there.
