Abstract The Amazon River Basin contains the world's highest fish species diversity, with a
hydrologic cycle that creates a patchy distribution of floodplain lakes at low water and affords …

Combined effects of climate change and deforestation have altered precipitation patterns in
the Amazon. This has led to changes in the frequency of extreme events of flood and …

Inland fisheries underpin food security in many tropical countries. The most productive
inland fisheries in tropical and subtropical developing countries occur in large river …

Despite low in situ primary productivity, tropical oligotrophic rivers support highly diverse fish
assemblages and productive fisheries. This raises the question, what energy sources …

Variation in hydrological connectivity (HC) between rivers and lakes gives rise to periodic
large water level fluctuation (WLF) in river-connected lakes (RCL). However, how WLF …

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 …

Closed-canopy rainforests are important for climate (influencing atmospheric circulation,
albedo, carbon storage, etc.) and ecology (harboring the highest biodiversity of continental …

In the Tapajós River, Brazilian Amazon, fishing is an important activity, especially for low-
income riverine populations. Unfortunately, the Tapajós River fish diversity and abundance …

Floodplain lakes are highly productive and biodiverse ecosystems whose food webs
depend on a variety of autochthonous and allochthonous resources. Thus far, the role of …

Floodplain wetlands are among the most productive and biodiverse ecosystems on Earth
and provide a major subsidy of food resources for consumers in river systems. The basal …
