“…We integrated new data from the current study with recent (e.g., Krzeminska et al, 2016; Loxton et al, 2018) and older mineralogy data from cheilostome and cyclostome bryozoans worldwide previously summarized by Smith et al (2006) and Taylor et al (2009). Available mineralogical data from genera with undetermined species, and also known species from the White Sea which has unusual conditions that may mask temperature influence (Krzemińska et al, 2022), were removed from the analyses (see Tables S2–S4). The global dataset comprised 549 species (102 Southern Ocean species, excluding six genera with indeterminate species).…”

“…In recent years significant efforts have been put into increasing data on skeletal mineralogy in a wide range of bryozoan species from Arctic (Iglikowska et al, 2020;Krzemińska et al, 2022;Piwoni-Piórewicz et al, 2019), temperate (e.g., Loxton et al, 2014b;Smith and Clark, 2010;Steger and Smith, 2005), tropical (Taylor et al, 2016;Taylor & Di Martino, 2014), and Antarctic (Figuerola et al, 2015(Figuerola et al, , 2019Krzeminska et al, 2016;Loxton et al, 2013;Loxton, Kuklinski, Barnes, et al, 2014) regions. However, several reviews have pointed out that mineralogy is known only for a small proportion of living species at all latitudes (Smith et al, 2006;Taylor et al, 2009).…”

The Southern Ocean is showing one of the most rapid responses to human-induced global change, thus acting as a sentinel of the effects on marine species and ecosystems. Ocean warming and acidification are already impacting benthic species with carbonate skeletons, but the magnitude of these changes to species and ecosystems remains largely unknown. Here we provide the largest carbonate mineralogical dataset to date for Southern Ocean bryozoans, which are diverse, abundant and important as carbonate producers, thus making them excellent for monitoring the effects of ocean warming and acidification. To improve our understanding of how bryozoans might respond to ocean warming and acidification, we assess latitudinal and seafloor temperature patterns of skeletal mineralogy using bryozoan species occurrences together with temperature data for the first time. Our findings, combining new mineralogical data with published data from warmer regions, show that the proportions of high-Mg calcite and bimineralic species increase significantly towards lower latitudes and with decreasing seawater temperature. These patterns are consistent with the hypothesis that seawater temperature is likely a significant driver of variations in bryozoan mineralogy at a global scale.

The main aim of this study was to investigate whether environmental or biological factors predominantly influence bryozoan biomineralization along the South African coast (spanning from 29.263°S; 16.87°E to 27.540°S; 32.677°E), a region known for its diverse oceanographic conditions. New data into the mineralogical (calcite vs. aragonite) and geochemical (Mg content in calcite) composition of bryozoans are provided, enhancing the global database and understanding of biomineralization patterns. To date, there has been a notable scarcity of data on bryozoan skeletal composition in tropical and subtropical regions, representing a significant gap in our knowledge and understanding of the impacts of climate change on marine, calcifying organisms. Our research reveals a diverse array of carbonate skeletons across nearly half of the known bryozoan species in the region, with calcitic forms dominating, followed by bimineralic and aragonite-based forms. The prevalence of aragonite-containing skeletons, particularly within the Cheilostomatida, mirrors global patterns, indicating a correlation with sea temperature gradients. Significant mineralogy and magnesium calcite variability exists within the Flustrina and Membraniporina suborders (Cheilostomatida). Despite exploring various environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, or impact of currents (Agulhas, Benguela, or mixed), no clear correlation with mineralogical patterns emerged. Instead, the study underscores the substantial influence of biological control on bryozoan skeletal carbonate mineralogy and geochemistry. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive, multi-parametric analyses to unravel environmental signals in bryozoan biomineralization, contributing to a deeper understanding of the impacts of climate and local conditions on marine calcifiers.
