Phyllostomid Bats of Lowland Amazonia: Effects of Habitat Alteration on Abundance (2007, background): “Nonetheless, Inambari is a conservation priority because it has higher numbers of restricted-range endemic species than do other areas of endemism (da Silva et al. 2005).”
The combined influence of riverine barriers and flooding gradients on biogeographical patterns for amphibians and squamates in south‐eastern Amazonia (2016, background): “The influence of large rivers on the distributional patterns of some vertebrates, especially birds (Cracraft, 1985; da Silva et al., 2005) and monkeys (Boubli et al., 2014), strongly supports this hypothesis.”
Effects of Habitat Conversion on Temporal Activity Patterns of Phyllostomid Bats in Lowland Amazonian Rain Forest (2009, background): “Iquitos is in the Inambari area of endemism (da Silva et al. 2005), which has lost ,10% of its forest cover and is among the least-threatened regions of Amazonia.”
Large‐scale DNA‐based survey of frogs in Amazonia suggests a vast underestimation of species richness and endemism (2020, result): “This number is four to five times larger than that currently reported for the entire Amazonia (Da Silva et al., 2005).”
