“…Although travel is frequently an important conduit for the introduction of alien species (Anderson, Rocliffe, Haddaway, & Dunn, 2015;Koutika, Rainey, & Dassonville, 2011), with suitable education and guidance for visitors, or through volunteer tourism, the travel behavior of visitors can effectively control the spread of invasive species (Anderson et al, 2015;Hall, 2015). In fact, tourism is an excellent channel for lifelong learning (Broomhall, Pitman, Majocha, & Mcewan, 2010).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of participation in the transformative learning process for invasive species by community volunteers and voluntourists. The results show that children play an important role in motivating adults to accept new ideas, and for both community volunteers and voluntourists, "dialogue" has an important influence on the relationship between self-reflection and new roles. In addition, during the operation of volunteer tourism, the platform provided by local intermediary organizations functioned to link stakeholders in volunteer tourism and promote transformative learning.

“…In this context, we found in the second survey that several locations formerly occupied by I. glandulifera were invaded by Solidago gigantea, which had been largely absent in the first survey (Essl and Hauser 2002). This species may cause severe effects on soil properties and species assemblages in Central European habitats (Güsewell et al 2006, Kowarik 2010, Koutika et al 2011.…”

The management of invasive alien species (IAS) in protected areas has become increasingly important in recent years. In this study, we analyse IAS management in the bilateral National Park Thayatal-Podyjí at the Austrian-Czech border. Based on two surveys from the years 2001 and 2010 and on annual management data from 2001-2010 we analyse changes in distribution and the efficiency of IAS management of three invasive alien plants (Fallopia × bohemica, Impatiens glandulifera, Robinia pseudoacacia).In 2010, the three study species had invaded 161 ha (2%) of the study area. Despite a decade of management, F. × bohemica has become widespread, whereas I. glandulifera distribution has decreased strongly. The most widespread species, R. pseudoacacia, has declined substantially in cover, but the area invaded has increased.From 2001 to 2010, annual management effort declined by about half. Management effort per hectare and decade was highest for F. × bohemica (2,657 hours), followed by R. pseudoacacia (1,473 hours) and I. glandulifera (270 hours). Management effort for achieving the same amount of reduction in population size and cover was highest for R. pseudoacacia, followed by F. × bohemica and I. glandulifera.We conclude that substantial effort and resources are necessary to successfully manage the study species and have to be provided over prolonged time periods, and thus continued management of these species is recommended. We highly recommend a systematic approach for monitoring the efficiency of IAS management projects in protected areas.

“…The present state of floodplains in Central Europe is unfortunately closely related with often mass occurrence of invasive plants, primarily of the Fallopia congeners and Impatiens glandulifera, changing the local habitat conditions (Hejda & Pyšek, 2006;Hejda et al, 2009;Koutika et al, 2011). There is still a limited number of studies dealing with the impact of invasive plants on invertebrate species and/or their assemblages.…”

River floodplains of Czech rivers serve as refugia to woodland or hydrophilous gastropods,in current intensively agriculturally utilised, urbanised and largely fragmented landscape. This habitat often form one of the last refuge and replace the natural habitat of these species. River floodplains also represent linear bio-corridors in landscape and allow gastropods to spread through the landscape in both directions, up and down the stream. We showed based on available fossil mollusc successions that development of the floodplain mollusc fauna took place quite different way in various river floodplains, depending on their specifics and geographical location, because especially the ones situated in the chernozem area of the Czech Republic had very different history in comparison with those in higher altitudes. The species richness and composition of recent floodplain malacofauna arises from historical development of particular area/site and depends also on environmental factors such as an elevation, humidity gradient, vegetation type and its biomass, light conditions of the site and soil reaction. Recently, the invasive plants represent a serious problem for current floodplain ecosystems; species richness and abundances of terrestrial mollusc floodplain assemblages are changing due to their effect. The impact on gastropods is species-specific and was described for the following species: Impatiens glandulifera, Fallopia japonica subsp. japonica, F. sachalinensis, F. ×bohemica.
