Low forest-loss thresholds threaten Amazonian fish and macroinvertebrate assemblage integrity

Low forest-loss thresholds threaten Amazonian fish and macroinvertebrate assemblage integrity

Deforestation is a major threat globally, but especially in tropical regions because they are biodiversity strongholds and carbon storehouses. Some studies have reported changes in species richness and composition in lotic ecosystems with increased forest-loss in their catchment, presumably resultin...
