Neutral processes and reduced dispersal across Amazonian rivers may explain how rivers maintain species diversity after secondary contact

Amazonian rivers are only partial barriers to the dispersal of most species, but they still form the limits between the distributions of many similar species. We show that two competitively-identical species may remain allopatric for hundreds of generations when a river only reduces the chance of a...
