Miocene tectonism and the separation of cis- and trans-Andean river basins: Evidence from Neotropical fishes

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

Among families of freshwater teleosts from northwestern South America, species diversity is significantly correlated with a minimum number of cis-/trans-Andean clades, which indicates that the relative species diversity and biogeographic distributions of Amazonian fishes were effectively modern by the late Middle Miocene.
