Some plants and animals were brought over as food items: common carp,
various helicids, Corbicula. Some were introduced for reasons that defy
logic, like the starling. Relatively few species have gone the other direction.
Euglandina snails all over the Pacific; big-mouth bass in Lake Biwa in Japan; American gray squirrels in the UK - there are plenty of things that have gone the other direction.
