How can we define invasive species? What is their history? How did they come to dominate and transform ecosystems? These are relevant questions when trying to understand the behavior of invasive species?primarily in fragile ecosystems such as islands?and to understand the biological, ecological, social and economic impacts of invasions. We chose the Galapagos Islands, a place well-known to be unique in the study of evolution, as a laboratory to analyze the interactions between invasive and endemic species, to understand the makeup of the ecosystems emerging after invasions have occurred, to describe the relationships of invasives with the people that live in these islands, and to try to develop comprehensive analyses on this topic from multi-scalar and multi-disciplinary points of view. For a long time, the discussion has been about how proper management of the species could achieve two main goals: the eradication of the species to recover affected ecosystems and the conservation of endemic species. The discussion has taken on other nuances, including the suggestion that an invasive species, when it is already adapted to an ecosystem, forms an integral part of it, and thus eradication would in itself go against conservation. On the other hand, some invasive species are not only part of the biological compound of the island ecosystems, but they also form part of the social and cultural history of the inhabited islands. Some of these identified by the local inhabitants are species of real or potential economic value. 410 0$aSocial and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands,$x2195-1055 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aNature Conservation. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 676 $a578.62 702 $aTorres$b Mari?a de Lourdes$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMena$b Carlos F.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299391203321 996 $aUnderstanding Invasive Species in the Galapagos Islands$92503385 997 $aUNINA
