What if the descendant moved to a different biome?

Then, technically it wouldn't have any effect on its ancestor and the ancestor could continue to live. That should mean it would just split, unless you specifically chose to have the ancestor die out in the process for whatever reason you might have.

But in the case of the Wright Saucebacks, there is already one in each biome, so there isn't a niche for another one. That's just for the Sauceback.

Is that true? I mean, do you have them in the various rivers, swamps, the volcanic range, the reef, and the surrounding oceanic areas? Cuz there's always those areas to expand to, too, if you want more species types.

[Russ1]

All I meant was that they couldn't evolve into a biome where there was already a sauceback.  Sorry, I suppose I'm not the best at explaining things well.

Yes but you would have to explain how and why it evolved there. For instance maybe your sauceback eats small animals vs large animals and is not in direct competition of the native sauceback to that biome.

Or if they fill the same niche you can explain why it was better than that other sauceback and replaced it.

For instance look at Africa's carnivores they are each adapted to eat different herbivores. While they could eat other animals they normally stick to the one they are best at eating. For instance cheetah are great at eating gazelles, while lions are great at eating zebras. Cheetahs just don't have the size to take down a zebra normally while a lion is generally too slow to eat a zebra. Thus a lion and a cheetah can co-exist in that biome's ecosystem.

In short specify and don't make as many "generalist" species that can eat everything. Cause real life never seems to work that way (at least not without unbalancing it).

Those darn Homo sapiens, fitting into every biome.

Not really fit...more like putting a square peg in a round hole by slamming it in with a hammer.

Actually without dogs people could not live in many biomes, such as Inuits and their sled dogs at the north pole.

An update ...

Ovi and I worked on the biome list a bit today. We still have more to sort but we now are having new biome areas added such as ...

Tropical Coasts
Glicker Tropical Coast
Wright Tropical Coast

Temperate Coasts
North LadyM-Glicker Coast
North Jujubee-Glicker Coast
North LadyM-Wright Coast
North Jujubee-Wright Coast
South LadyM-Glicker Coast
South Jujubee-Glicker Coast
South LadyM-Wright Coast
South Jujubee-Wright Coast

Polar Coasts
North Polar Coast
South Polar Coast

We will also be adding some new beaches but we have not decided how we are going to categorize them yet. Once we are done we will hopefully have an updated map (not a new map but one with these new places marked).

[Russ1]

That's great, and really needed. Just on a topic raised before, for practice we're advised to do fan art. It sounds really fun but before I do anything I just want to check that everyone has (if it is necessary) given permission for their creatures to be used.

[Hydromancerx]

As long as the creature is a fan art and you give them credit i don't see what the problem is.

[Hydromancerx]

Pretty good way to reduce the population. 
P.S. Did you get my message?

Yes i got it. Did you update it yet?

I just updated again, I;m just letting you know this so I don't take up too much space in the Forum.
P.S. If I did the Nectavore thing wrong, could you tell me which plants need animals or pollnation to be succesful. That would be kind of you.

Ok lets see what you have...

Would this be an example?

Picture Coming Soon!

Rainbow-Winged Worm (Pennarigida Colopennae)

Creator: TheBigL

Ancestor: Twelve-Winged Worm

Size:  8 cm long

Habitat: Krakow Temperate Forest, Huggs Temperate Forest, Krakow Plains, Flisch-Krakow Rainforest, Krakow Temperate Forest, Huggs Rainforest

Diet: Herbivore (Immobile Plent matter, Carnofern and Upplenbell berries, ) and Nectavore (Nectar from the Carnofern, Darkpalm, Spotted Bubble Tree and Sphere Bubble Tree)

Reproduction: Hermaphrodite (eggs)

The Rainbow-Winged worm split off from the Twelve-Winged Worm. It has also replaced the Yokto Temperate Forest Twelve-Winged Worm, though it still competes with its ancestor in other places. During its evolution, the Rainbow-Winged Worm became slightly bigger than its ancestor, it has developed a taste for nectar, which helps, spread pollen to other plants. Its wings have become different colors so that they can attract other Rainbow-Winged Worms from a distance, there is however a drawback to their colorful wings. Their bright colors can attract predators easily. During mating season, they gather in huge groups to mate and lay their eggs. After a week, they die, but the eggs hatch and the cycle continues.     

The spotted bubble tree and Sphere Bubble Tree has no pollen i don't think. It just has the hydrogen bubble seeds.

Also plz reduce the habitat to 1 to 3 biomes. Perferiblly one that touch each other. Cause as you have it now Krakow Rocky blocks the biomes. I suggest having them live on Krakow Plains with the nectar of the Carnofern and eating Upplenbell berries. Since eating the plant you pollinate is kind of bad.

EDIT:

The Rainbow-Winged worm split off from the Twelve-Winged Worm. It has also replaced the Yokto Temperate Forest Twelve-Winged Worm, though it still competes with its ancestor in other places.

How can it split and replace? It either splits and effects none or replaces some to all.

[TheBigL]

I fixed it another time for you.

Creator: TheBigL

Ancestor: Twelve-Winged Worm

Size:  8 cm long

Habitat: Krakow Plains, Huggs Temperate Forest

Diet: Nectavore (Nectar from Carnofern, Violetgrass and Nidbin)

Reproduction: Hermaphrodite (eggs)

The Rainbow-Winged worm split off from the Twelve-Winged Worm. During its evolution, the Rainbow-Winged Worm became slightly bigger than its ancestor, it has developed a taste for nectar, which helps spread pollen to other plants. Its wings have become different colors and can rotate 50 degrees forward and backward so that they can attract other Rainbow-Winged Worms from a distance, there is however a drawback to their colorful wings. Their bright colors can attract predators easily. During mating season, they gather in huge groups to mate and lay their eggs. After a week, they die, but the eggs hatch and the cycle continues.

I think that means that it more or less replaced its ancestor in some areas, but not all. The ancestral organisms might wander into its descendants area sometimes, but the descendants hold on the limited resources of the regions keeps the ancestors from living and breeding in the area.

Well sicne it lives in only one biome now it should say if it split or replaced its ancestor. Otherwise its has just split and is co-existing with it even though its in direct computation.

Also Krakow Plains has no immobile plent so you should take that off your food. So it should say somthing like ...

Plus a good picture and it should be good.
