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 …

Wetlands cover approximately 6% of the Earth's surface. They are frequently found at the
interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are strongly dependent on the …

Peacock bass Cichla ocellaris is a piscivorous cichlid native from the Amazon and Orinoco
river basins, which has been broadly introduced into tropical areas worldwide, leading to …

Flooded forest is one of the most important fish habitats in Neotropical rivers, and one that is
increasingly subjected to negative impacts from logging, agriculture, and other human …

We investigated how the taxonomic and functional structures of fish assemblages in the
lower Amazon River floodplain responded to seasonal hydrological variations. Fishes were …

Abstract The Amazon River Basin encompasses the world's largest remaining tropical
rainforest, and the largest freshwater system with the highest fish species diversity on earth …

Climate change is poised to have fundamental impacts on the freshwater environments of
the Amazon River Basin, and protected areas are routinely proposed as a possible …

Flood pulses affect floodplain enrichment via the incorporation of nutrients and terrestrial
biomass. As a result, they positively affect the body condition of aquatic organisms. This …

Tropical lakes and their associated floodplain habitats are dynamic habitat mosaics strongly
influenced by seasonal variations in hydrologic conditions. In flood-pulse systems, water …

The periodical flood pulses, assisting by the connectivity between rivers and lakes in
floodplain ecosystems, are of paramount importance in underpins fish meta-communities …
