Abstract in brief

Ctenostome bryozoans are a lesser-studied group with around 350 species, and their anatomy, particularly the position of the anus, is gaining importance for understanding their biology.
Anus position varies greatly among ctenostomes, being located either at the base of the lophophore or the vestibular wall, and this study aims to analyze these variations and any correlations with zooidal or colonial morphology.
The research finds that a vestibular anus is common in certain groups, while its placement in others appears inconsistent, suggesting past evolutionary shifts, but the reasons and functional implications of these changes require further investigation.
