Criteria for inclusion
Two criteria were used in selecting items for the list:
- An invasive species' "serious impact on biological diversity and/or human activities," and
- That species' "illustration of important issues surrounding biological invasion".
According to the ISSG, "only one species from each genus was selected." However, the renaming of Clidemia hirta now implies two Miconia species in the list.
