Cyclostome

Currently, Cyclostome is a topic that has gained great relevance in various areas of society. From politics to popular culture, Cyclostome has become a point of constant interest and debate. Over time, interest in Cyclostome has increased, leading to deeper research and the generation of discussions around its importance and repercussions. In this article, we will explore different perspectives and approaches related to Cyclostome, in order to offer a broader and more detailed vision on this topic that is so relevant today.

Cyclostome is a biological term (from the Greek for "round mouth") used in a few different senses:

• for the taxon Cyclostomi, which comprises the extant jawless fishes: the hagfish (Myxini) and the lampreys (Petromyzontidae). This was thought for a time to be a paraphyletic group and this usage of the term was deprecated by some. However, there is strong molecular evidence for cyclostome monophyly,^[1] and thus the term remains in use.
• for the Order Cyclostomatida of bryozoans, tiny animals that live in colonies and form large calcitic skeletons.
• for one of two subgroups of braconid wasps.
