Late in the period the first four-legged amphibians appeared, indicating the colonization of land by vertebrates.

They contain remarkable documentation of the colonization of land by vertebrates as well as that of freshwater rivers and lakes by plants and fish.
The find, the scientists say, pushes back the colonization of land by about 40 million years and puts it in or near the late Cambrian period, when the seas were starting to boil with large creatures.
My research is focused on the biological and environmental impacts of the evolution of plant structure, development, and physiology from the Paleozoic colonization of land through the subsequent radiations of land plant form up to and including the Cretaceous radiation of flowering plants.
Owing to these observations and the rough temporal coincidence between the colonization of land by plants and the appearance of lateral accretion sets in the Early Paleozoic record, it is generally thought that plants are essential for rivers to be single-threaded and meander.

In the hope of reconstructing a pivotal step in evolution — the colonization of land by fish that learned to walk and breathe air — researchers have decoded the genome of the coelacanth, a prehistoric-looking fish whose form closely resembles those seen in the fossils of 400 million years ago.
Analysis of divergence and diversification produced results bearing on the fungal colonization of land, establishment of the first inland forests, and the origin of ectomycorrhizal fungi.
