Cheilostomatous bryozoans are biomineralisers, as such, vulnerable to acidification and increasing temperature currently affecting the world’s oceans. Cheilostomes have excelled in zooid polymorphism and they also perform a high array of growth forms, geometries and mineralogies. Flustriforms, and related taxa, are considerably speciose, ubiquitous, and highly abundant in the benthic realm. An extensive literature review coupled with the analysis of spatial distribution data was performed to address growth as a fundamental biological process of multidimensional expressions. Growth can manifest in zooidal production, somatic growth (both zooids and colonial) and area. However, a more comparable, albeit requiring additional analyses is the measurement of calcification (carbonate production). When temporal dimension is considered, growth is expressed as rates. At wider temporal scales, growth can be expressed via carbon immobilisation (secondary production) and sequestration, whereas, at wider spatial scales, growth can be measured by the expanding distribution ranges. Higher temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolism, hence growth rates, but will affect calcification. Broadly, near-future predicted scenarios will likely increase growth in flustrines in most dimensions addressed in this thesis. Evaluating these trends in a polar-temperate gradient will provide important insights of the underlying mechanisms and possible ecological trade-offs in cheilostomatous bryozoans.
