A gonozooid is any of the reproductive individuals of tunicate, bryozoan, or hydrozoan colonies that produce gametes. Gonozooids may play a role in labour...

breaks off, the gonozooids keep growing attached to its ventral peduncle, until themselves breaking off and becoming free-living. Gonozooids are hermaphroditic...

feeding polyps, but some are specialised reproductive structures known as gonozooids. In some species, further specialised zooids are formed. Dorit, R. L.;...

It has a complex life cycle and exists in several forms of which the gonozooid, or mature zooid with gonads, is the most often seen. It is roughly cylindrical...

colony are known as gonozooids. Each one is a hermaphrodite with the eggs being fertilised by sperm from another individual. The gonozooid is viviparous, and...

gastrozooids; the individuals capable of asexual reproduction only, the gonozooids, blastostyles; and free-living or sexually reproducing individuals, the...

both feeding and reproductive, called gonozooids, and others protective, called dactylozooids. The gonozooids each produce numerous tiny jellyfish by...

so few gonozooids in one colony. The aperture in gonozooids, which is called an ooeciopore, acts as a point for larvae to exit. Some gonozooids have very...

aid in the growth of this organism by feeding. The reproductive polyp gonozooids have medusa buds. These medusa buds differentiate Obelia from others in...

different functions, such as digestion (gastrozooids), reproduction (gonozooids) and hunting (dactylozooids). A fourth type of zooid is the pneumatophore...

in the same colony. In some species, the reproductive polyps, known as gonozooids (or "gonotheca" in thecate hydrozoans) bud off asexually produced medusae...

as long as it is required for the gonozooids on their stalks to grow and detach, and then they die off too. Gonozooids detached from the phorozooid swim...

if each gonozooid broods single or multiple clutches of larvae, whether one or more clones of polyembryonous larvae are present per gonozooid, and what...

dactylozooides (large tentacles), which it actively avoids. The smaller gonozooids do not seem to sting the fish and the fish is reported to frequently "nibble"...

found in great abundance in the Indo-Pacific waters where it lives. The gonozooids are the most often encountered of the forms of this animal. They are solitary...

typically consists of a gastrozooid with a single tentacle, one or more gonozooids, and a bract. In the genus Lensia, each tentacle has many branches called...
