One BIG factor I think would be transportation.  Think about how much the
world has shrunk transportation wise in the last one hundred years.
Anything that can move from one part of the world to another in less than 24
hours can carry anything and that thing can stay viable for the most part to
the destination.  Just had a report on evening news this week of a python,
very rare species, being found after hitching a ride on/in a fruit container
from Central America to the port of Mobile, Alabama.  Currently it's in a
local zoo and they are trying to find matches to the snake in other zoos
around the U.S..
