Towards a biogeography of Amazonian soil microarthropods

Geographic isolation underlies major hypotheses on the biogeography of Amazonian fauna, but evidence is largely biased towards vertebrates. We show that environmental variation is at least as important as geographic location in explaining compositional patterns of soil oribatid mites across two land...

Description
Summary:Geographic isolation underlies major hypotheses on the biogeography of Amazonian fauna, but evidence is largely biased towards vertebrates. We show that environmental variation is at least as important as geographic location in explaining compositional patterns of soil oribatid mites across two landscapes 560 km apart on opposite Amazon riverbanks.
