There have been at least a handful of known cases where species were incorrectly replaced or outcompeted when it made no sense to do so (such as the Cave Rustcell replacing the Cave Rustmold).

Please list any examples you know of on this thread. They may be retconned to either still be alive up to a mass extinction event or have been outcompeted by something else that took their niche later.

There's no description mention of the cave rustcell replacing the cave rustmold. they're both extant.

https://sagan4alpha.miraheze.org/wiki/Tepoflora anyways, here's a very bad example of genus "absorption".

It used to replace its ancestor but was retconned to not.

Oh my god. There's a lot of bad genus groups, but that might be a contender for the worst.

I didn't even know it was as bad as it was until you mentioned that it replaced a flora on mason. I just saw the large number of species it replaced.

Time to hunt down more of these if i can
