Trophic opportunism of central Amazon floodplain fish [PDF]
Freshwater Biology, 2015 SummaryThe food web of the central Amazon basin displays one of the largest discrepancies in food source utilisation versus availability for consumers. While C4macrophytes dominate the primary producing biomass in floodplains, the food web is dominated by the use of C3carbon sources.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Climate change is projected to substantially erode taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of endemic and threatened birds in the Brazilian Amazon by 2100. Integrating these dimensions with climate refugia revealed priority conservation areas, particularly in the eastern Amazon, highlighting where conservation efforts can best safeguard ...

Annual net primary production of macrophytes in the eastern Amazon floodplain
, 2009 Aquatic herbaceous macrophytes contribute significantly to the input carbon for the Amazon floodplain. These plants have large seasonal variations in areal coverage and high productivity. The present study estimates annual net primary production (NPP) of

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydroelectric dams are common in Amazonian tributaries under federal environmental licensing that requires long‐term fisheries monitoring. This study evaluated three fishing systems targeting “pacu” species (Serrasalmidae) in the Xingu River before, during, and after construction of the Belo Monte dam (2012–2023) across four river sectors ...

Shape of Water: Power Dynamics for Supply Chain Resilience
Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world is facing climate change‐driven disruptions such as extreme weather events, which affect nature as well as firms and their supply chains. Nonetheless, little is known about how supply chain players shape their socioecological resilience, including from a power perspective.

R&D Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on strategic alliances often treats supplier capability development as an outcome, but rarely asks which capabilities are built or what they can be used for. We address this through an embedded single‐case study of a lead‐firm‐orchestrated network in the Brazilian Amazon, comprising six community‐based enterprises (CBEs) supplying ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The restoration of mining‐degraded riparian forests faces challenges due to structural, compositional, and functional impacts on these ecosystems. The demand for effective monitoring requires an understanding of how ecological indicators have been applied to assess post‐mining restoration success.
