Insights on the functional composition of specialist and generalist birds throughout continuous and fragmented forests. [PDF]
Specialist birds had lower functional beta diversity in continuous forest than generalist birds. Generalist birds had lower functional beta diversity in forest fragments than specialist birds. Specialists were positively associated with more parameters of fragmentation than generalists.

Warming of aquatic ecosystems disrupts aquatic–terrestrial linkages in the tropics
Using tank‐bromeliads, the authors experimentally investigated for the first time how aquatic–terrestrial linkages are affected by warming in the tropics. In contrast to temperate regions, warming is predicted to cause strong declines in tropical aquatic insect emergence into terrestrial ecosystems, while variably affecting terrestrial detritus ...

Fisheries management influences phytoplankton biomass of Amazonian floodplain lakes
Tropical freshwaters fisheries typically assume that fish biomass is controlled by bottom‐up mechanisms, so that overexploitation of large predators would not affect overall ecosystem productivity. Our results, however, show that top‐down forces are important drivers of primary productivity in tropical lakes, above and beyond the effects of bottom‐up ...

Sharing the space: Review of humpback whale occurrence in the Amazonian Equatorial Coast
Humpback whales have a cosmopolitan distribution and undertake annual migrations between low and high latitudes where breeding and feeding takes place, respectively. In Brazil, the main breeding area encompasses the Abrolhos Bank at the Eastern Brazilian

Turbulence and Gas Transfer Velocities in Sheltered Flooded Forests of the Amazon Basin
Abstract Seasonally flooded forests along tropical rivers cover extensive areas, yet the processes driving air‐water exchanges of radiatively active gases are uncertain. To quantify the controls on gas transfer velocities, we combined measurements of water‐column temperature, meteorology in the forest and adjacent open water, turbulence with an ...
