Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research
The unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted
the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our …

The 'wet–dry'in the wet–dry tropics drives river ecosystem structure and processes in northern Australia
Northern Australia is characterised by a tropical wet–dry climate that regulates the distinctive
character of river flow regimes across the region. There is marked hydrological seasonality …

Space-time dynamics in monitoring neotropical fish communities using eDNA metabarcoding
The biodiverse Neotropical ecoregion remains insufficiently assessed, poorly managed, and
threatened by unregulated human activities. Novel, rapid and cost-effective DNA-based …

Local environmental factors influence beta‐diversity patterns of tropical fish assemblages more than spatial factors
EO López‐Delgado, KO Winemiller… - Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
A major goal in ecology is to understand mechanisms that influence patterns of biodiversity
and community assembly at various spatial and temporal scales. Understanding how …

Are tropical streams ecologically different from temperate streams?
Publisher Summary This chapter explores the evidence for and against the proposition that
there are fundamental differences in the ecology of temperate and tropical streams. It …

Seasonal changes in the assembly mechanisms structuring tropical fish communities
Despite growing interest in trait‐based approaches to community assembly, little attention
has been given to seasonal variation in trait distribution patterns. Mobile animals can rapidly …
