Two impressive species of Simulti that seem to be thriving among the predatory organisms. It's not just size that gives them an edge.

S. iunctium breaks into sections when injured, allowing pieces to escape and replicate quicker.

A curious specimen. Among P. ratis colonies, there are many mutated variants and peculiar descendants with varying degrees of mutually beneficial relationships with other species, but none quite so intertwined as this collection that I have named S. Choncum. It contains three simple cells, specialized to give it an advantage. Each resemble, both in function and genes, what I assume are their ancestors.

P. ratis descendants create tons of food and disperse it through cell walls.

S. capillus-alikes bind close to work together for movement, allowing more defense from predatory organisms.

P. tricavi relatives relay hormones between the layers, helping disperse food more evenly and alerting movement cells when other parts are under attack.

It seems I've been asleep for a while. I don't remember what I set the wake alarm to. There's definitely been some changes on the surface. I can't wait to see how they've grown.

I will have to review the recorders as well. How exciting!
