Paludicella Articulata
''Paludicella articulata'' is a species of freshwater moss animal in the genus ''Paludicella''. Description Colonies can grow to a maximum diameter of . They have chitin shine that is similar to the beetles shield. The color is brown. Their life cycle is usually a few months. They breed in spring, at which time the temperature is above , and die in October, when the temperature drops to about . Habitat The species live in a colony, which always grow on a place where they are sheltered from silt. It lives in lakes up to above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level taken as a vertical datum. In geodesy, it is formalized as ''orthometric heights''. The comb .... Bibliography * Økland, K. A., & Økland, J.

Bryozoa
Bryozoa (also known as the Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals) are a phylum of simple, aquatic invertebrate animals, nearly all living in sedentary colonies. Typically about long, they have a special feeding structure called a lophophore, a "crown" of tentacles used for filter feeding. Most marine bryozoans live in tropical waters, but a few are found in oceanic trenches and polar waters. The bryozoans are classified as the marine bryozoans (Stenolaemata), freshwater bryozoans (Phylactolaemata), and mostly-marine bryozoans (Gymnolaemata), a few members of which prefer brackish water. 5,869living species are known. At least two genera are solitary (''Aethozooides'' and '' Monobryozoon''); the rest are colonial. The terms Polyzoa and Bryozoa were introduced in 1830 and 1831, respectively. Soon after it was named, another group of animals was discovered whose filtering mechanism looked similar, so it was included in Bryozoa until 1869, when the two groups ...
