(a) Similarity of primate faunas on opposite banks of the Amazon River, plotted as a function of distance from its headwaters. The secondary increase in similarity near the river's mouth is probably a consequence of the historical instability of its course and of the existence of islands (11). (b) Similarity of primate faunas on opposite banks of Amazonian rivers, plotted as a function of the annual discharge of each river. White-water rivers tend to flow more slowly than black and clear-water rivers. Redrawn from ref. (© 1992 by American Naturalist).
