NESLife 4

Thanks guys, but yes it may be worth taking a look at what people have posted before you. Dont worry though, I will sort through the chaos :)

Archaeoblobus-> Carpeolis
Additions: A thin bunch of cells devolopes to the sides of the mouth resembling a clear sheet which causes Carpeolis to sail with ocean currents collecting food along the way.
Carpeolis also developes tail like extensions which flap to help keep Carpeolis in the major currents.
Subtractions: Carpeolis no longer pulses to obsorb food but simply collects the food in it's "mouth" while "sailing".

OOC: Noob here, is this what you are looking for?

@Condor, seems you are a step ahead, you are evolving from an example evolution idea that isn't in the game yet! Also the link to NESLife3 may be confusing. We are starting at the microscopic scale this time, with single cells in fact - no mouth, and too small for sailing effect.
 
love the pseudo-biology omega124
 
I was serious... (hard to tell with the internets)
 
I thought YOU were being funny.
 
Archaeoblobus -> Lentiscus
Additions: Lentiscus cells secret a sticky goo along it edges. They float through the water randomly bumping into pieces of food which stick to its cell walls. Enzymes in the goo slowly break down any food attached to the cell wall. They are eventually absorbed and used for energy.
Subtractions: none at this time.

Umm whoops, any suggestions to help me get started?
 
Our brethren sing in a thousand seas;
Our songs meld light and water.


Archaeoblobus -> Regnus
Additions: As other organisms got nastier, the Regnus simply got larger and more complicated. Internally, specialized regions of formerly single-celled organisms began to develop membranes in between them, and nuclei proliferated. At the end of the day, the Regnus was somewhat larger than most single-celled organisms; it used this size as deterrent and defense. Many of the family's species specialized in eating the developing algae blanket at the ocean surface.
Subtractions: Any photosynthesizing ability.
 
Archaeoblobus-> Lactasus

Several slightly larger cells have joined together to form a blob that, in contact with other cells not part of the blob, conducts phagocytosis to consume it. Nutrient is shared between the cells of the blob.

Addition: Phagocytosis.

Subtraction: Any photosynthesis ability
 
Archaeoblobus -> Clastud
Additions: Phagocytosis. Clastud recognizes 'self' and 'non-self'. It adheres to, internalizes, and digests 'non-self'.
Subtractions: Any photosynthetic capacity.

Get your own ideas Seon.


*sigh* Despite my threats to boycott this, NESLife is actually tons of fun. Soooo.

Archaeoblobus -> Archaeofilium (Thlayli)
Additions: While remaining as a single cell, thin filament projections have aided the ability of the cellular organism to move quickly and sense the environment. It is also slightly larger, aiding in phagocytosis of smaller Archaeoblobii. Specialized proboscii for other purposes are beginning to develop.


And i should get my own too i guess...

Protothiophilus


The thilophile clade descends from Protothiophilus, the first eukaryotic organism capable of surviving in environments rich in sulphur. Its name, 'first sulphur lover', well describes its biochemistry; able to both metabolize and concentrate sulphur, Protothiophilus not only poisoned its competition in areas where sulfur was rich, but further differentiated along the sulfur concentration gradient, evolving intercell organelles to actively transport sulfur ions.

Additions: Intercell organelles, active transport, sulphur tolerant
Subtractions: None yet.
 
Definitely going to be watching this one, probably will join tomorrow. :)
 
Also, Daftpanzer will likely merge the very similar lifeforms into single shared groups for you to branch out from later.
