Collateral damage: military invasions beget biological invasions

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2023
Biological invasions are frequently and closely associated with armed conflict. As a key element of human history, war involves the invasion of (often distant) enemy territories, during which time species can be translocated, intentionally or unintentionally. Large‐scale conflicts such as World War I and II, in which thousands of soldiers and supplies (
