Aquatic and Terrestrial Invertebrates Support Fish Assemblages of Amazonian Streams
ABSTRACT The Amazonian stream network is remarkable not only for its extent but also for its rich fish diversity. These streams are interconnected with the surrounding forests. However, key ecological aspects of Amazonian freshwater ecosystems, such as energy flows and carbon sources sustaining fish assemblages, remain poorly understood. In this study,

ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of human activities on fish communities is critical for the effective conservation of Amazonian ecosystems. In this study, we sampled environmental DNA (eDNA) from 17 sites (lakes and rivers) in two Peruvian national reserves, Pacaya‐Samiria and Allpahuayo‐Mishana, using a metabarcoding approach with four genetic ...

The Role of Fish in Nutrient Recycling Across a Conservation Gradient in Neotropical Streams
ABSTRACT Fish play a crucial role in nutrient recycling within various aquatic ecosystems, but how their contribution varies across streams with different levels of disturbance remains poorly understood. In our study, we investigated the role of fish assemblage in nutrient cycling within eight Neotropical streams characterised by varying degrees of ...

Using eDNA metabarcoding, we assessed fish diversity in isolated sinkholes in southern Brazil, uncovering signs of local extinction and species persistence. This approach offers a non‐invasive tool for biodiversity assessment and informs conservation efforts in unique karst environments.

Assessing fish diversity in abandoned mining ponds in Madre de Dios, Peru, using environmental DNA
We surveyed four lentic systems in Madre de Dios, Peru: two abandoned mining ponds created by ASGM and two unmined oxbow lakes as a reference to assess fish recolonization. We compared two alternative eDNA processing methods and contrasted our results with historic data from traditional biodiversity monitoring. Our results indicate that eDNA could be a
