Functional diversity is an emergent approach in ecology that has been applied globally to
better understand the relationships between organisms and the environment. However …

Substrate complexity is strongly related to biodiversity in aquatic habitats. We illustrate a
novel framework, based on Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry (SfM) and Multi-View …

Understanding why some clades diversify greatly while others do not is a major goal of
evolutionary biology. Both abiotic and biotic factors are important in driving unequal …

Trophic levels can be applied to describe the ecological role of organisms in food webs and
assess changes in ecosystems. Stable isotopes analysis can assist in the understanding of …

The abundance and dispersion of plastic particles in aquatic ecosystems has become
pervasive resulting in the incorporation of these materials into food webs. Here we describe …

This study was carried out in a section of the middle course of the Teles Pires River, a clear
water river that drains ancient and highly eroded geological formations, and where five …

Trait‐based approaches for studying community assembly have improved understanding of
mechanisms; however, the challenge of interpreting process from pattern is complicated by …

Herbivorous fishes feed on stems, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, and nuts of diverse aquatic
plants, as well as algae. Pacus are the herbivorous cousins of piranhas and consume a …

Abstract In the Amazon Basin, several species of herbivorous serrasalmid fishes inhabit
rapids, but it is unknown if they partition food resources during the annual low-water period …

The establishment of a given phenotype is only one expression from a range of hidden
developmental possibilities. Developmental plasticity at hidden reaction norms might elicit …
