Fig. 2 in Mammals Of The Rio Juruá And The Evolutionary And Ecological Diversification Of Amazonia

Fig. 2. View of the Rio Juruá at Seringal Condor (locality 6) in the Upper Central Region, looking south towards the right bank. The photograph was taken in September 1991, during the dry season. An extensive sand bar covered with grass is exposed, behind which is a thick stand of Cecropia some 50 m in depth before the edge of várzea forest is encountered. The beach grass is a seasonally ephemeral community, but is the primary habitat of Oligoryzomys microtis. The Rio Juruá is approximately 30 m wide at this point. Photograph by J. L. Patton.
