    I'm suprised Lionfish weren't on the list. Their introduction and population explosion are a huge issue in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico/Western Atlantic.

    I also am surprised cats and pigs are not on the list. Cats have caused huge damage to native bird populations in many places, New Zealand and others, and Hawaii has a big feral pig problem as well as the mongooses.

    There are a couple I'm surprised aren't on the list, the brown tree snake, which has cause major damage in Guam and Hawaii, and the emerald ash borer, which is well on the way to wiping out the ash tree population in the northeast, both of which were brought in to their respective areas in shipping containers.
