Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Seasonal Forest Resources Support Fish Biomass in Floodplain Lakes of an Amazonian Tributary
Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT The Flood Pulse Concept is a foundational ecological theory that emphasizes the critical role of lateral connectivity between a river channel and its floodplain. Many tropical rivers inundate the surrounding floodplain in the flood stage, thereby receiving large amounts of terrestrial organic matter that can be decomposed by microbes and ...

Forest citizens and people‐centered conservation in the Brazilian Amazon
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.Abstract Demands for territorial recognition are foundational to the claiming of rights by forest‐proximate people who attempt to conserve their forests. The rights of these often‐marginalized populations have been largely overlooked by conservationists, yet they are central to achieving people‐centered conservation. We further developed the concept of
