Assessing the effects of multiple land uses on the functional beta diversity of stream fishes in the Amazon region

Preface: Neotropical streams in changing landscapes

“…Their findings highlight the importance to focus on rare species to explain fish assemblage responses to changes as well as to improve their conservation. The partitioning of the functional beta diversity of stream fish along a gradient of environmental impacts and the determination of which functional traits are associated with this gradient were investigated by Seabra et al (2022). Modification of forest cover changed local abiotic and landscape conditions, which in turn influenced the functional beta diversity and functional replacement of fish assemblages.…”
