Evolution of biomineralisation in lophophorates. Black parts of the tree indicate biomineralising lineages, while light blue indicates soft-bodied taxa. The ancestral lophophorate has been assumed to be biomineralising due to the similarity between brachiopod and mollusc biomineralisation-related genes. Bryozoan topology after Schwaha et al. [33], Xia et al. [95] and Zhang et al. [94]
