Abstract

The Amazon and Orinoco basins in northern South America are home to the highest concentration of freshwater fish species on earth, with more than 3,000 species allotted to 564 genera. Amazonian fishes include piranhas, electric eels, freshwater stingrays, a myriad of beautiful small-bodied tetras and catfishes, and the largest scaled freshwater fish in the world, the pirarucu. Field Guide to the Fishes of the Amazon, Orinoco, and Guianas provides descriptions and identification keys for all the known genera of fishes that inhabit Greater Amazonia, a vast and still mostly remote region of tropical rainforests, seasonally flooded savannas, and meandering lowland rivers.The guide's contributors include more than fifty expert scientists. They summarize the current state of knowledge on the taxonomy, species richness, and ecology of these fish groups, and provide references to relevant literature for species-level identifications. This richly illustrated guide contains 700 detailed drawings, 190 color photos, and 500 distribution maps, which cover all genera. An extensive and illustrated glossary helps readers with the identification keys.The first complete overview of the fish diversity in the Amazon, Orinoco, and Guianas, this comprehensive guide is essential for anyone interested in the freshwater life inhabiting this part of the world.First complete overview of the fish diversity in the Amazon and Orinoco basinsContributors include more than fifty expertsIdentification keys and distribution maps for all genera190 stunning color photos 700 detailed line drawingsExtensive and illustrated glossary

Abstract

The book includes; A comparison of all global and local communities with respect to community composition at the species and family level, emergent community properties, and the relationship between those emergent properties and the environments of the study sites; Analyses of traits of individual species that are important to their distribution or success in harsh environments; A review of evidence for the importance of interactions--including competition and predation--in community dynamics of stream fishes; An assessment of disturbance effects in fish community dynamics; New analysis of the short- and long-term dynamics of variation in stream fish communities, illustrating the applicability and importance of the "loose equilibrium concept"; New analyses and comparisons of spatiotemporal variation in community dynamics and beta diversity partitioning; An overview of the effects of fish in ecosystems in the central and eastern United StatesThe book ends with a summary chapter that places the authors' findings in broader contexts and describes how the "loose equilibrium concept"--which may be the most appropriate default assumption for dynamics of stream fishes in the changing climate of the future--applies to many kinds of stream fish communities.
