Doubt the GM is letting us play in 2 areas at once. So yes, it's moving.

Yeah. As a general rule, environments similar enough for a species to live in is counted as one environment.

What would it take to spread to several, wildly different environments? It may cause divergent evolution, but then again, it is one major feature of evolution.

Agreed. I'd like it if we formed the ancestors of the dominant clade.

Are you a GM with players who haven't posted? TheDelinquent Players Help will have Bay12 give you an action!
[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I assume that already happens. However, those who spread simply become another species, and hence are no longer in our control.

We cant become the dominant clade if we stay strictly endemic to a single forest at a.time...
Seriously, if we were to send half of our things to a nearby plain, why would we lose control?
And if not, at which point would we lose control over one of the groups and why?

Arbitrary gameplay reasons

The GM said that each environment is the area in which a single species can survive without developing subspecies. Each turn is the time it takes for a new species to develop. It's what happened last times we moved, so it will happen now too.
