Rainfall and sea level drove the expansion of seasonally flooded habitats and associated bird populations across Amazonia

This study found that millennial periods of higher rainfall combined with rising sea level enhanced sediment accumulation in Amazonian rivers valleys. This fuelled synchronous expansion of vegetation adapted to seasonally flooded substrates and its specialized bird populations, showing how global cl...
