Ciclo hidrológico nos ambientes de várzea da reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável mamirauá – médio rio solimões, período de 1990 a 2008.
E. E. Ramalho,J. Macedo,Tatiana M. Vieira,João Valsecchi,Calvimontes J,Miriam Marmontel,Helder Lima de Queiroz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe water level variation at a varzea site in the Middle Solimoes river region (Amazon River) in the Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve from 1990 to 2008, during this period, water level varied between a minimum of 21,71 and a maximum of 38,55 meters above sea level.

Diversity, Geographic Distribution and Conservation of Squirrel Monkeys, Saimiri (Primates, Cebidae), in the Floodplain Forests of Central Amazon
Fernanda Pozzan Paim,José de Sousa e Silva Júnior,João Valsecchi,Maria Lúcia Harada,Helder Lima de Queiroz +4 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that anthropogenic changes in the region be monitored, and conservation measures be taken to protect these primates, especially considering the endemism and very restricted range of Saimiri vanzolinii and its consequent vulnerability to extinction.
