Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

Functional biogeography may bridge a gap between field-based biodiversity information
and satellite-based Earth system studies, thereby supporting conservation plans to protect …

Until recently it was assumed that the Archaean continental crust (made of TTGs: tonalites,
trondhjemites, and granodiorites) was generated through partial melting of MORB-like …

ABSTRACT Biogeography of Amazonian fishes (2,500 species in vastly disjunct lineages) is
complex and has so far been approached only partially. Here, we tackle the problem on the …

Supracrustal tectonics and mantle flow interact to create Earth's topography. While tectonics
is associated with the isostatic components of topography, the deflections caused by mantle …

We mapped the inferred long-distance migrations of four species of Amazonian goliath
catfishes (Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, B. platynemum, B. juruense and B. vaillantii) based …

Infrastructure development and overfishing in the Amazon make it imperative to define
adequate scales for the ecosystem‐based management of commercial fisheries and the …

We map the extent, infer the life-cycle length and describe spatial and temporal patterns of
flowering of sarmentose bamboos (Guadua spp) in upland forests of the southwest Amazon …

Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of
neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …

Canopy gaps express the time-integrated effects of tree failure and mortality as well as
regrowth and succession in tropical forests. Quantifying the size and spatial distribution of …
