NOTES
Colonization of the New World brought a wealth of species to the Americas from around the globe. The seventy-four species in Ascendant are all non-native, but they are also thriving as their populations continue to grow—often at the expense of indigenous flora and fauna. The Indian mongoose, for example, was originally imported to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1880s to control sky-rocketing numbers of another invasive species: rats. Instead, the mongoose has had tragic consequences for rare local bird colonies.
