The Fourth Annual Zoological Congress of "Grigore Antipa" Museum (CZGA 2012) was held on 21-23 November 2012 in Bucharest, Romania (www.czga.ro). It was organized by the "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History in partnership with the Romanian Academy – Section of Biological Sciences and University of Bucharest – Faculty of Biology, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

ESENIAS presented preliminary results from a pilot study carried out along the Lower Danube in September 2012 within the frame of the project "Potential threats to environmental and economic sustainability in the Danube and Black Sea region: Danube River as invasive alien species corridor" and implemented jointly by the International Association for Danube Research (IAD) and ESENIAS (see the poster below).

A special session of the Congress was dedicated to "Invasive species". In addition, several contributions focused on issues related to the effects of climate change. With the permission of the CZGA organizers and the authors, for which we are very grateful, some of the oral and poster presentations can be found here:
