โ€œHimalayanโ€ Uplands - Geoblattina, Ferns and Invisibilis falsaranea

South African Karoo Highlands - Hydrobryum and Ferns

Siberian Traps Uplands -Invisibilis falsaranea, Geoblattina, Ferns

Western Laurentian Belt - Hydrobryum and Ferns

Eastern Australis Highlands - Hydrobryum

Central Mangroves - Bathynomus, Plankton, Poikilohundun

West Mangroves - Bathynomus, Plankton

Northern Mangroves - Hydrobryum, Pelagotoma, Poikilohundun

Eastern Mangroves - Plankton, Bathynomus, Hydrobryum

Central Pangean Sea - Plankton, Poikilohundun, Archea, Hydrobryum, Bathynomus, Radiodontodraco

Western Laurentian Shelf - Archaea, Plankton

Gondwanan Archipelago - Plankton, Poikilohundun, Mesogastra, Radiodontodraco, Hydrobryum, Bathynomus

Tethys Seaway - Plankton, Poikilohundun, Mesogastra and Radiodontodraco

Karoo Basin Sea - Plankton, Poikilohundun

Open Ocean - Plankton, Archaea, Poikilohundun, Mesogastra

Invisibilis falsaranea/Tryatleast: Size increase

POP:6

FA: 6

Geoblattina/Dumbthriver: Roaches live together in female-male pairs

POP: 6

FA: 10

Radiodontodraco/UndyingHazard: Fat storage and strong jaws

POP: 5

FA: 10

Poikilohundun/Anthropocenian: Salt digestion

POP: 7

FA: 10

Bathynomus/aah31: Sensitivity to vibrations and better vision

POP: 6

FA: 10

Plankton: Move to West Mangroves

POP: 6

Ferns/Doom: Reducing the size of the megaspores they produce, ensuring there will be more archegonia that will produce more spores and more space in the spore capsule and changing the surface area of โ€‹โ€‹the spores, which will be less likely to stick together if they come into contact with water, allowing for more efficient wind dispersal.

POP: 10

Hydrobryum/Cha: Predator attraction for defense

POP: 8

Mesogastra: Small teeth jutting from below the mouth

POP: 5

FA: 10

Some changes to the atmosphere have been made, the first recorded case of symbiosis has been made between the Hydrobryum and the Falsaranea. The aquatic biosphere is much more stable although it is far from the once-full oceans and mangroves merely two million years ago.

I premade some of the names whilst brainstorming for the past 2 days so I apologize if your submission for a name didnโ€™t get through.

Mutation: Better communication across the swarms so that danger is better avoided
Movement: Try to spread to more available areas where I am not present

Wait, are you going for the eusocial route?

Mutation 1: Develop a couple of primitive lucerifase photophores around the body for emitting bioluminescence. These bioluminescent organs allow for more complex social behavior, mating, communication, warning off predators, and attraction of potential prey, for both above and below the water, as well as seeing better underwater.

Mutations: Cartilaginous skeleton or whatever precursor to a skeleton I can have. And a sense of hearing.

How long did it take to evolve biolumin in real life?

Yeah. Worker roaches, soldier roaches, all that jazz.

Considering the most prevalent theories are that it evolved as a defense mechanism against oxidation, and

it possibly evolved relatively quickly. Plus, it appears that bioluminescence has independently evolved at least 40 times.

So you will have become basically termites?

Yeah, just without the wood-eating. Not yummy.

Yummy for them it is though

Mutation uno: Move to Mangroves

Mutation dos: Improving or assuming this specific species does not have that not-vascular tissue that works like vascular tissue that the moss start having vascular system towards more on the edge part of the plant or important parts, but leaving the rest up for the normal system.
