“…1). These forest mosaics are visible from satellite images, and appear as dark spots surrounded by lighter‐colored greens that represent high‐canopy rain forests growing on clays, loams and brown sands (“terra firme forests”) (see Vriesendorp et al 2006 for color images). White sands (WS) and (non white‐sand) “terra firme” (TF) soils in the Peruvian Amazon have different histories.…”

“…Dashed line approximates the limit of the Amazonian lowlands (<500 m a.s.l). White‐sand areas depicted on this map are all of the known ones in the Dept of Loreto, Peru and are drawn to approximate their extent on the landscape (modified from Vriesendorp et al 2006), with the exception of WS 1‐4, which details the boundaries of the Allpahuayo‐Mishana National Reserve (of which ca 25% of its area is covered by white‐sand forests).

Phylogenetic community structure and phylogenetic turnover across space and edaphic gradients in western Amazonian tree communities

Ecological and evolutionary processes influence community assembly at both local and regional scales. Adding a phylogenetic dimension to studies of species turnover allows tests of the extent to which environmental gradients, geographic distance and the historical biogeography of lineages have influenced speciation and dispersal of species throughout a region. We compare measures of beta diversity, phylogenetic community structure and phylobetadiversity (phylogenetic distance among communities) in 34 plots of Amazonian trees across white‐sand and clay terra firme forests in a 60 000 square kilometer area in Loreto, Peru. Dominant taxa in white‐sand forests were phylogenetically clustered, consistent with environmental filtering of conserved traits. Phylobetadiversity measures found significant phylogenetic clustering between terra firme communities separated by geographic distances of <200–300 km, consistent within recent local speciation at the watershed scale in the Miocene‐aged clay‐soil forests near the foothills of the Andes. Although both distance and habitat type yielded statistically significant effects on both species and phylogenetic turnover, the patterns we observed were more consistent with an effect of habitat specialization than dispersal limitation. Our results suggest a role for both broad‐scale biogeographic and evolutionary processes, as well as habitat specialization, influencing community structure in Amazonian forests.

The Andes range and the Amazon basin represent the most diverse biological community on earth and the largest tropical forest on earth, respectively, but they are historically understudied by biologists. In this paper we provide the first quantitative description of the volume and geographical distribution of ecological research in these regions. We compiled a dataset of all articles based on the Andes and Amazon regions published in two prominent international tropical ecology journals between 1995 and 2008. During this period, the number of scientific articles based on research in the Amazon was half that based on research in Central America, while the Andes scored among the least-studied of all tropical regions. Brazil was the leading base for Amazonian studies and Ecuador the primary location for Andean studies, but Ecuador led both categories and Brazil came last when research effort was standardized by area. Most Amazonian research took place in three regions-Manaus, southeastern Peru, and eastern Ecuador-with ~31 percent of all papers coming from four field stations in those regions. Andean research focused overwhelmingly on the northern Andes. Research in the Andes range and the Amazon basin remains scattered, patchy, and far below its potential. We propose steps that funding agencies can take to increase research output and reduce geographical bias in the study of South America's richest ecosystems.Key words: biogeography, Brazil, capacity-building, Ecuador, field stations, Peru, scientific journals, tropical ResumenLa cordillera andina y la cuenca amazónica representan la comunidad biológica más diversa de la Tierra y el bosque tropical más extensa de la Tierra, respectivamente, pero históricamente han sido poco estudiados por los biólogos. En este artículo se ofrece la primera descripción cuantitativa del volumen y distribución geográfica de la investigación ecológica en estas regiones. Se compiló una base de datos de todos los estudios basados en las regiones andinas y amazónicas publicados en dos importantes revistas internacionales de la ecología tropical entre 1995 y 2008. Durante este período, fueron publicados dos veces más artículos científicos basados en investigación en América Central de que en toda la Amazonía, mientras la región andina fue una de las menos estudiadas de todos los trópicos. Brasil fue el principal local para estudios amazónicos y Ecuador el principal local para estudios andinos, pero cuando el esfuerzo de investigación fue estandarizado por área Ecuador ocupó el primer lugar y Brasil el último. La mayoría de la investigación amazónica se llevó a cabo en tres regiones-Manaos, el sudeste del Perú, y el este de Ecuador-y el 41% de los artículos amazónicos provinieron de cuatro estaciones científicas en esas regiones. La investigación andina fue muy enfocada en la región norte de la cordillera. Concluimos que la investigación científica en los Andes y la Amazonía sigue siendo dispersa y muy por debajo de su potencial. Proponemos políticas que las agencias donantes podrí...
