Biogeochemical water type influences community composition, species richness, and biomass in megadiverse Amazonian fish assemblages
Amazonian waters are classified into three biogeochemical categories by dissolved nutrient
content, sediment type, transparency, and acidity—all important predictors of autochthonous …

Optimizing sampling design to deal with mist-net avoidance in Amazonian birds and bats
Mist netting is a widely used technique to sample bird and bat assemblages. However,
captures often decline with time because animals learn and avoid the locations of nets. This …
