Vegetation on sandy soils, ranging from open grasslands and shrublands to closed‐canopy,
thin‐trunked forests, can be found in patches throughout the Amazon. Despite variation in …

Amazonian rivers represent known barriers for avian dispersal, reducing gene flow and
enhancing differentiation. Despite the importance of rivers in the avian evolutionary process …

The rapidly developing field of ecoacoustics offers methods that can advance multi-taxa
animal surveys at policy-relevant extents. While the field is promising, there remain …

White sand ecosystems (WSE) occur in nutrient-poor sandy soils patchily distributed
throughout the lowlands of Amazonia. The diversification and current patterns of diversity of …

Aim Although 'river color'or water type is an important determinant of Amazonian floodplain
biodiversity, the relevance of mixing distinct water types at river confluences to the …

Despite the importance of rivers in Amazonian biogeography, avian distribution patterns in
river‐created habitats (ie, floodplain forests) have been sparsely addressed. Here, we …

Vegetation growing on white‐sand soils is patchily distributed across the Amazon and is
characterized by scrublands or open vegetation types (white‐sand campinas) and by forests …

Jacamar species occur throughout Amazonia, with most species occupying forested
habitats. One species-complex, Galbula leucogastra/chalcothorax, is associated to white …

The principles of island biogeography are rarely applied to the animal assemblages of
Amazonian river islands. Here, we compare bird assemblages of Amazonian river islands …

The Rio Branco is a river with unique biogeographic and ecological features, threatened by
the Brazilian Government's plan to build a major hydroelectric dam and associated …
