I could go on but you get what I'm saying.



That article is heavily biased toward large animals as well. Fungus like Chytrid, Dutch Elm and Chestnut blight do more damage than most large fauna could ever do. Not to mention the damage invasive insects and plants do. Invasive plants form monocultures and completely destroy natural habitat. I don't see how a birm could be considered a top ten when they haven't even listed plants and fungus that have wiped out large portions of an ecosystem.
