History of the field (from Darwin and Elton to SCOPE project and GISP), terminology (native vs. alien, invasion vs. natural range expansion)
Invasion process and its dynamics: naturalization, invasion, overcoming of barriers; quantitative rules (tens rule), dispersal vectors, rate of spread, time lags
Major invasive species of the World and Czech flora; their biology, ecology, mechanisms underlying paricular invasions (singular events or general principles)
Features of invasive plants: theories explaining invasive potential, comparison of alien floras, taxonomic pattern, life forms and strategies, relation to other trophic levels
Evolution of invasive species: population genetics, hybridization potential role of GMO
Invasibility of communities: determinants of resistence or invasibility, effect on diversity, competition
Geography of invasions: history of plant invasions, comparison of biomes and continents, global pattern: invasive hot spots; invasion to nature reserves; invasions of islands
Practical aspects, control: economics of biological invasions; mechanical, chemical and biological control; history of biological control, examples of successful and non successful attempts
Prediction possibilities and strategy of attitude to global invasions; public awareness, society involvement; legislation
Future research venues: comparison of congeners and taxonomically or functionally related groups, manipulative experiments, natural experiments, databases, relation to other fields of ecology
