Evolution may improve the invasiveness of populations, but it often remains unclear whether
key adaptation events occur after introduction into the recipient habitat (ie post‐introduction …

Biological invasions are generally thought to occur after human aided migration to a new
range. However, human activities prior to migration may also play a role. We studied here …
