Dear Colleagues!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee we cordially invite you to participateinthe 4^th International Symposium «Alien Species in Holarctic – Borok-4», be held in Borok, Yaroslavl   Province, Russia, September 22 – 28,2013.

Three previous symposia on the alien species were held at the I. D. Papanin Institute for the Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences (Borok) in 2001, 2005and 2010. The 4^thSymposium will focus on theoretical and applied issues related to biological invasions of alien species, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
