I've done some quick test in the map editor and it appears when "Disable moisture check on enemy spawning" is enabled, no biter nests spawn at all, seemingly replaced entirely by snapper nests mixed in with the spitter nests. When I have "Disable moisture check on enemy spawning" disabled, then biter nests spawn as usual, but in some biomes there is a mixture of snapper + biter + spitter nests, while in other biomes there is only biter + spitter nests.
Personally I would expect disabling the moisture check to spawn all three of snapper + biter + spitter nests in all biomes instead of replacing all biter nests with snapper nests.
