Infested were used as a bio-weapon by the Orokin in the war against the Sentients, who are speculated to be machines but honestly nothing is known about them. They failed, then the tennos came back from the void with the results described in Stalker's codex entry.

Captain Vor and his damn lightning grenades. Anyone who gets downed within reach of one is probably best left alone. Everyone who has tried to revive someone within reach of one of those things just ends up down too.

How come no-one ever tries crawling away from the enemy when they've been downed? Most people seem content to just sit there and watch as team-mates take damage as they try to revive them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
crawling when downed is so friggin bugged you have next to no control. Nine times out of ten you cant move at all, and when you can it's strictly backwards.
And if Vor is hard for you, wait until you reach Ruk. He's DORF level of !!FUN!!.
I'd be happy to help you, anyway :D

Honestly, with damage 2.0 Mk.1 does only slightly less damage than the regular braton (17 versus 20), but those damages are reparted differently (2.5/4.25/10.2 versus 6.6/6.6/6.8), making the Mk.1 specialised against infested (about 22 damage) when the regular braton is a jack-of-all-trades (about 24 damage after resistances). But the regular braton is STILL better than the Mk.1 versus infested, and by the time you even meet infested you are up to, what, earth?
It also have a ridiculously small status chance (1% versus 5%) and lower crit rate (5% versus 10%)
Mk.1 also have a slower rate of fire and higher precision. Precision doesn't matter much, but the slower RoF further decimates the Mk.1 DPS.

Holy crap, I read the wiki for this, and turns out the Mk.1 is crappier than ever. Get a regular braton, NOW.
Guaranteed DOUBLED DPS against grineer, unmodded.

And how do creatures with, say, a temperature rating of 3 fare in a temp 1 or 2 biome? As in, can they even get there? Obviously more adapted competitors would wipe them out instantly, but in the absence of competition?

Oh man, I haven't played this since Alpha.

Methinks its time to patch this and get back into it!

Anything a person who remembers pretty much nothing from it needs to know?
If "alpha" means "before update 7", then everything short of "space ninjas killing stuff" changed.
First, the talent tree you might remember is GONE, replaced by the mod system. Damage 2.0 happened, making all weapons specialized.
There is several new planets, bosses have been revamped (not all of them yet), there is like 16 warframes now, and more than a hundred weapons. Void stuff happened, gear changed a lot, there is a codex in game now, and tons of other stuff, including clans and research.
Treat it as a whole different game is the best advice I can give you.

It's "per population", and the definition of population I've been taught (university, and the cursus is literally "biology of the populations") is "all specimens of a singular species in a specific area", so species*biome. Same species, different biome = different population.
EDIT: apparently, if the definition of BD in the first post is anything to go by, it is species*biome.

And question: as it is impossible to migrate and evolve temperature adaptation in the same turn, how do species having a different temperature stat than their biome react? Is there only an idle mali?

The EP income is calculated per biome, right?

Team I have initiated action to increase survivability of our species, do you approve?
No, we need to improve biodiversity. We do not have enough EP for anything else, really.

How much does speed increase cost though? I don't see it listed.
