The '''barlowe ciliognathus''' split from its ancestor, the [[ciliognathus]]. It has gotten larger and has specialized as a "micro herbivore". It eats only producer microbes like [[heplumnia]]. It has developed a thicker cytoskeleton to help it retain moisture. It can now travel on land, however its limited to muddy soil. It has also developed an antifreeze-like chemical to keep it from freezing in the cold polar soil and water. |

Like its ancestor it normally reproduces by binary fission, but in certain conditions, like overcrowding and environmental stress, it undergoes a sexually reproductive process called conjugation. It lines up with another barlowe ciliognathus and they fuse together. They then exchange genetic material. The two detach and then become four new cells. |
