Scrabania and Paramonia

Well the discussion in the "Abe and Oddysee cast to appear on TV" thread got me thinking.

Scrabs and paramites are native to (or at least most common in) scrabania and paramonia. But we have seen them in other locations as well.

Rupture Farms: Obviously they were taken here by the glukkons.
Necrum: Were they allowed into the Mudanchee and Mudomo (I may have gotten those tribe names wrong) vaults by the tribes themselve to act as 'guard dogs'?
Now the one that confuses me the most is the wilderness areas in MO. Did the glukkons take them there to farm them? Or did they travel naturally out of Scrabania and Paramonia and breed when they found the right environment? OR did they once cover the whole (or a lot of) Mudos and as the industrialists took over they were pushed back into the few small pockets of wilderness that were left? The last one seems likely as that is similar to the way certain native australian animals have been reduced by the loss of habitat. For instance there have been discussions (and it may have happened for real) about culling koalas because they breed too fast and are overpopulating the small areas of habitat left.
