- Your list of species is pretty extensive but I would suggest incorporating an example or two in the causes/distribution section. For example, we were discussing zebra muscles or the brown tree snake in class and I think incorporating a specific example or two would be valuable for helping people understand exactly what a tramp species is.

- You are missing the closing quotation mark at the end of your Tramp species definition-ants section.

-In the Tramp species definition-ants section, it might be helpful to unpack some of the traits you quote by Luc Passera as many people are likely unfamiliar with many of these terms and might have to further Google these terms. Or perhaps you can link them if there are already Wiki pages on them and then you might not need to unpack them.

-In your overview section you mention myrmecology, given you were just discussing ants it's easy for me to infer it's related to the study of ants but if you're thinking about the general public has part of the audience, then it may be worth briefly but explicitly stating what myrmecology is.

- In the Effects on local environments section, what are some of the impacts on human health that you are referring to?

- Are there any initiatives trying to mitigate the spread of tramp species? It could be interesting to incorporate them in a section if there are.

- If there are photos of tramp species that you can incorporate that could be an interesting addition as well.

Looks like an awesome start though and these are just suggestions, super interesting topic too :)
