Assimilating in situ and radar altimetry data into a large-scale hydrologic-hydrodynamic model for streamflow forecast in the Amazon by R. C. D. Paiva, W. Collischonn, M.-P. Bonnet, L. G. G. de Gonçalves, S. Calmant, A. Getirana, J. Santos da Silva

“…In this work, we introduce and evaluate a data assimilation framework for gauged and radar altimetry-based discharge and water levels applied to a large scale hydrologic-hydrodynamic model for stream flow forecasts over the Amazon River basin. We used the process-based hydrological model called MGB-IPH coupled with a river hydrodynamic module using a storage model for floodplains. …”

The advertisement call of two species of the Rhinella granulosa group (Anura: Bufonidae) by Ariovaldo Antonio Giaretta, Isabelle Aquemi Haga, Felipe Silva de Andrade

“…Our data on R. merianae appear to differ in dominant frequency from the only call (a single male) known from the Amazon River bank. The differences we found between our data and published call data suggest that further study of calls of additional populations of these species is warranted.…”

A historical vertebrate collection from the Middle Miocene of the Peruvian Amazon by Jorge D. Carrillo-Briceño, Orangel A. Aguilera, Aldo Benites-Palomino, Annie S. Hsiou, José L. O. Birindelli, Sylvain Adnet, Edwin-Alberto Cadena, Torsten M. Scheyer

“…Abstract The Miocene aquatic and terrestrial fossil record from western Amazonia constitute a clear evidence of the palaeoenvironmental diversity that prevailed in the area, prior to the establishment of the Amazon River drainage. During the Miocene, the region was characterized by a freshwater megawetland basin, influenced by episodic shallow-marine incursions. …”

Seasonal variability of tropical wetland CH₄ emissions: the role of the methanogen-available carbon pool by D. S. Reay, A. Fraser, P. I. Palmer, A. A. Bloom

“…We fit DMCM parameters to satellite observations of CH₄ columns from SCIAMACHY CH₄ and equivalent water height (EWH) from GRACE. Over the Amazon River basin we found substantial seasonal variability of this carbon pool (coefficient of variation = 28 &plusmn; 22%) and a rapid decay constant (&phi; = 0.017 day⁻¹), in agreement with available laboratory measurements, suggesting that plant litter is likely the prominent methanogen carbon source over this region. …”
