I'm really having trouble parsing "thought to harmlessly be cast is day fruit bats". Going to go make coffee in case that helps. I'm happy with most of this but "super-lethal viruses are actually selected against in evolution because they kill their hosts too quickly for them to spread effectively": this used to be the prevailing opinion but we now recognise that the optimal virulence of a pathogen depends on the contact structure of its host population. If an adaptation that permits more rapid spread happens to also kill a host more quickly, it will still spread if there is a net benefit to the pathogen.
See e. Fixed now. Descolada was create on purpose of terraforming, not from the evolution. HahaTTpro It's been a while since I read the books, I read in the wiki that it was spread to the planet by the "Descalodores" but didn't find any reference to terraforming.

Finally, the tumour cells have genetics of their own, not unlike the descolada being a species unto itself: Researchers sampled 25 tumours and found that the tumours were genetically identical.

I think you're right here. This was the biggest question I cared about when I finished Children of the Mind. To finish Shadows in Flight and see it heading in that direction, well I'm intrigued because I almost think that in the many many years after Bean's death things sort of get out of hand with his descendants and motives get less and less benevolent.
Not gonna lie I would suspect this from time to time, but it just seems to throw a lot away if Ender was tricked into respawning a species to get revenge on humans.
