Resumen:
In the Anthropocene, environmental problems must be addressed as socio-ecologicalphenomenon. However, to date, the understanding, study and management of biologicalinvasions have been skewed towards their biophysical aspects. Here, we use the case study ofinvasive North American beavers (Castor canadensis) in southern Patagonia?s Tierra del FuegoArchipelago to explore this issue in an integral way. Specifically, we use the beaver as aboundary object to a) reconceptualize biological invasions as socio-ecological systems and b)draw lessons on the teamwork needed to implement this paradigm shift. We critically reviewthe literature from this case to understand i) past and present ideas about species introductions,ii) biophysical and social domains of research, iii) the links (or gaps) between theory andmanagement and iv) the relationship of academic research and other social stakeholders.
