Paleontological Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The specifics of modular organisms led to a diversity of life cycles, and various forms of embryonization have significantly increased it. The reduction of one or two generations contributed to a significant transformation of the cycles and organization of bionts. The main modes of evolution of the life cycles of modular organisms, coupled with the processes of embryonization of ontogeny, are considered and their role in different systematic groups is estimated.
