So it's like life replicating Conway's Game of Life.

  I suppose you could think of it that way. My read on this is that desert, rocky terrain, and epiphytic plants find small microbiomes where they can survive. Once they have exploited those resources, once they've 'walked' looking for other spots very close by, they can't just move a couple feet away. They have to fly, and fly far, or die trying.
