Neogene history of the Amazonian flora: a perspective based on geological, palynological, and molecular phylogenetic data
The Amazon hosts one of the largest and richest rainforests in the world, but its origins
remain debated. Growing evidence suggests that geodiversity and geological history played …

Andean tectonics and mantle dynamics as a pervasive influence on Amazonian ecosystem
The Amazonian landscape evolution is the result of the combined effect of Andean
tectonism, climate and the Earth's interior dynamics. To reconstruct the landscape evolution …
