Flood Regime Structures Small Mammal Assemblages in Riparian Forests Along the Upper Paraguay River
Small‐mammal assemblages were sampled at 24 riparian‐forest sites across six landscapes along the Upper Paraguay River, spanning broad hydrological and vegetation gradients. Flood duration was more strongly associated with species composition than with species richness, while canopy height showed a negative association with observed richness ...

Large emissions from floodplain trees close the Amazon methane budget [PDF]
Wetlands are the largest global source of atmospheric methane (CH4)1, a potent greenhouse gas. However, methane emission inventories from the Amazon floodplain2,3, the largest natural geographic source of CH4 in the tropics, consistently underestimate ...

SWOT‐Fitted River Bathymetry for Global Hydrodynamic Models
Abstract We present a robust, global method to reconcile absolute water surface elevations (WSE) from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission with a large‐scale hydrodynamic model by iteratively correcting river bathymetry. After removing sensor and representativeness bias, we update riverbed elevations under DEM and min‐depth feasibility

A methodology for analysis of volume and flooded area dynamics: Lago Grande de Curuai várzea as an example [PDF]
This paper presents a methodology for processing and applying high resolution bathymetric data acquired with a Lowrance-480M ecosounder in the Amazon floodplain supported by Landast/TM images for planning and executing the survey.

Bauhinia naniflora: a new species of section Amaria (Cercidoideae: Leguminosae) from Colombia
Bauhinia, the most species‐rich genus of Cercidoideae (Leguminosae), is pantropically distributed and includes four sections in the Americas. During an ongoing taxonomic revision of American Cercidoideae, a new species of Bauhinia sect. Amaria ser. Decandrae currently endemic to Colombia was identified and is here described as Bauhinia naniflorasp nov.

Ecomorphological correlates of twenty dominant fish species of Amazonian floodplain lakes
Fishes inhabiting Amazonian floodplain lakes exhibits a great variety of body shape, which was a key advantage to colonize the several habitats that compose these areas adjacent to the large Amazon rivers.

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.
