Perspectives on the impact of microplastics (MPs) on fish of the Amazon that exhibit air-breathing and aquatic surface respiration [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Fish in the Amazon basin have adapted to bouts of low water O2 and high CO2, with many species evolving air-breathing or aquatic surface respiration mechanisms to supplement respiratory gas exchange.

Wild dogs at stake: deforestation threatens the only Amazon endemic canid, the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) [PDF]

, 2020
The persistent high deforestation rate and fragmentation of the Amazon forests are the main threats to their biodiversity. To anticipate and mitigate these threats, it is important to understand and predict how species respond to the rapidly changing ...
