The Shore is an inhospitable wasteland. Algae is available, but it’s not very nitrutious. Coconuts offer an even worse calories-to-digestion ratio.

No coconut eaters got established in the Human Garbage Dump, which means no coconut eaters got established in the River or Shore instead. The only available food is algae. The Shore is basically a small bit of Ocean biome with ⅒ of the algae. The algae-eating winner of our Ocean competition has zero speed so it cannot migrate to the Shore.
To top all of it off, predators migrate in from both sea and land.
Soonbegons migrate from time to time to eat the Detritus. Otherwise, the Shore is mostly a graveyard.

The grassland establishes an equilibrium. The only native species left is the Hopsplitter.
You can’t see it but there’s a single Venomoth on the bottom of the graph.

Winners
Temperate Forest
The temperate forest has lots of leaves and significant seeds.
Generations 1-200
The population crows, crashes, and then grows again.
Generations 200-2000
The system achieves stability stable (except for a random walk among equals).
Winners
None of our final species have venom or antivenom.
An honorable mention goes to the N054J’s Forest Tribble2 which is identical to the Cutiefly and the Forest Tribble1.
Rainforest
The Rainforest has lots of leaves and grass but few seeds.
Generations 0-1000
It takes 1000 generations to establish an introduction.
Generations 1000-9000
The population oscillates from there. A small number of Snarks and Brown Bears are not visible.
