CIRCULAR
Dear Colleagues!
When we have organised the “1st Croatian Symposium on invasive species” our main idea was to gather experts dealing with as many different aspects of invasive species as possible. We were very satisfied with the outcome. This year we want to continue with this, attracting more international participants, having in mind that only proper way to deal with this problem is to exchange our knowledge, and to act together. We extended the duration of Symposium on two days, in order to be able to accommodate more oral presentations. Time of year remained the same, enabling presentation of the most recent collected data.
Keynote Speakers
Ingolf Kühn (Martin Luther University, UFZ, Halle, DE) - "Invasive plant species: Jacks-of-all-traits?"
Franz Essl (University of Wien, AT) - "The macroecology of biological invasions: What global databases tell us?"
