Rotifera

There is also yummy algae in the oceans, so that’s a pull factor.

Shouldn’t some also reside in the freshwaters?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yes, but the herbivores adapted to open ocean can eat algae without worriying about predators at all.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That doesn’t mean there will be NO herbivores in the lakes and rivers still.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah, I know that. Moving to oceans is an optional thing. But think of it like the first tetrapodamorphs. They could eat food, dodge predators, in the oceans just fine. But they adapted to land because it was an open niche.

Someone will probably use staying in such a vacant spot…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah. Also, @domin2ktr needs to resubmit their mutation, because there are no stentors on this world.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

And also a species name. AA is yet to have posted anything here too.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

@domin2ktr @AnthropocenianAge Submit your species name and mutation! There are no stentors on this world, so domin2ktr must make a new mutation.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder how long will it take the algae to evolve into proper plants…

[domin2ktr]

Is it possible to make the same mutation but instead of stentor there will be ordinary ciliates?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

There are no ciliates on the moon, but amoebas are around.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Hmmm. Let’s make a poll.

Paramecia and didinia?

• Yes, how would they not get on the seeding ships?
• No, I hate domin2ktr!

This poll will only have the power to say that Paramecium and Didinium will be on this world. Stentors eat rotifers, and since rotifers are supposed to be top of the food chain, that is a no-go.

Next up, shrimpworld x rotiferworld crossover poll.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

I will note that the cells are at most half a millimeter, with the ciliates being only 0.1 micrometers, while T. ancestria is a whole millimeter. So @domin2ktr, you can have paramecia be ciliate cells on your rotifer’s sides.

By the way JaDT, as we’re playing on a moon of a gas giant, are the polar regions bombarded with radiation?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Rotifera multumpoda has evolved extra feet in the posterior region/tail.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

The genus is trichostoma, so it would be t. multumpoda. Also, here are the rotifer fellas…

and the tree!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Can we submit new mutations yet?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yes, you can! When a round is done, I make a picture for all the player rotifers. So if I post a picture, then that means you can submit new mutations.
