This species was first seen in the mid 1960s, when people referred to it as a “cassette” or “tape”, but it is not widespread until the 1970s. Similar to Repondecium antiquipotacium, it is thought that the “compact disc” lead to the decline in the Asportatio acroamatis population in the late 1990s. Asportatio has often been found in close proximity to Ambulephebus sonysymphonia, suggesting a close relationship between the two species Ambulephebus sonysymphonia is first found in the late 1970s, and was known as “a Walkman”. It is often found in close proximity to Asportatio acroamatis, suggesting a possible symbiotic relationship. This species rapidly evolved into many other forms, including a large round version (Ambulephebus discus) and the rare Ambulephebus minidiscus. It is theorized that the entire genus of Ambulephebus was virtually wiped out by the sudden appearance of Egosiliqua Malusymphonicus near the turn of the century. Some Ambulephebus remain, but not in the numbers once seen The “Boom Box” has predominantly been found in very close proximity to Asportatio acroamatis, and it seems possible that it is a distant relative of Ambulephebus sonysymphonia. Although not as mobile as Ambulephebus, the Bombus seems to perform a similar function.
Another article which I found food for thought was Mischler Traxler’s work on color which may be useful in my hydrocal casting project.
