Seasonal dynamics of terrestrial vertebrate abundance between Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests [PDF]
The flood pulse is the main factor structuring and differentiating the ecological communities of Amazonian unflooded (terra firme) and seasonally-flooded (várzea) forests as they require unique adaptations to survive the prolonged annual floods ...
