The dual role of Amazonian rivers in the generation and maintenance of avian diversity.

Science advances - 1 Aug 2018

Naka Luciano N, Brumfield Robb T

Abstract excerpt

The Amazon River and its major tributaries delimit the distributions of hundreds of terrestrial taxa. It remains unclear whether river-bounded distributions and taxon replacements reflect the historical role of rivers in generating species diversity as vicariant forces, or are the result of their role as secondary barriers, maintaining current levels of species diversity by inhibiting gene flow and population...
