They were around not too long ago so it shouldn’t take too long.

I think i forgot my votes

1. Improve DNA fixing
2. Cover the microsporum with a separating layer to help with wind dispersal.

Huh. Strange @Animalia didn’t mention that

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Mutation uno: Thicker (height wise) mats

Mutation dos: Improving the not true vascular system moss has.

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

Do you want to turn it into a true vascular system one round?

A large amount of Methane and other debris has suddenly risen from the depths of the ocean and has begun to rapidly make water uninhabitable to most forms of complex life other than plant life in large regions. The damage is moderate to the population of animals but certain kinds of animals are at risk of extinction. The collapse of certain food webs is almost guaranteed to lead to biodiversity loss. Mesogastra has been wiped out, with Radiodontodraco liable for extinction next round.

The starvation fallout is gonna hit hard next round

to Mesogastra.

Mutation 1: Develop 200 μmol/L tolerance to Methane.

Will this help against the current event?

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

CAN we adapt to the methane or do we need to become resiliant to it?

Also shouldn’t methane in the atmosphere disappear relatovely quick?

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

Was the F for Mesogastra, or for me? …

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

We will see soon enough ig

If I live the next round, I am definitely going to evolve a fully ossified skeleton.

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

Mutant: Become resistant/tolerant to higher ch4 % in the air

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

I am going to change to something similar, since I just realized the Archaea are only located in two places - the Western Laurentian Shelf and Open Ocean, as my species inhabits only one of the two places with Archaea, the Open Ocean.

Edit: I actually forgot I already have cathodic hemoglobin from round 10 onward (evolved in round 9), meaning my species is able to survive the very low oxygen and high acidic environments from the methane event. I will still change my mutation to methane tolerance in case I get damage from the Methane itself.

Thalassopocalypse

Mutation 1: Gills become stiffened like in Mudskippers so they do not stick together when coming out of water, and it helps to trap some air within them when out of water, thus increasing air breathing time. Mutation 2: Have a second version of Hemoglobin called Cathodic Hemoglobin like in Hoplosternum littorale, where the oxygen affinity increases with decreasing pH, in order to ensure sufficient oxygen to tissue under low oxygen and acidic conditions.

Does this event impact the plants directly anyhow?

M: Increase queen fecundity.

Since the motile oyster clade is now gone will something fill it’s “species slot”?

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Well if there’s no natural predator to keep them in check then herbivores can just ravage fields greenery.

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

Or an herbivore becomes a “true” omnivore (since even herbivores occasionally eat animal meat). Does that mean my species Poikilohundun will fill the miche left by the extinction of Mesogastra, since my species is already an omnivore?

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

I think it depends on YOU.
