It is shown that Andean uplift was crucial for the evolution of Amazonian landscapes and ecosystems, and that current biodiversity patterns are rooted deep in the pre-Quaternary.

It is shown that a late Miocene origin of the Amazon River is underpinned by a very robust data set and Campbell’s claim that there is poor correlation between terrigenous mass accumulation rates (TMAR) of theAmazon Fan and the Ceará Rise is unfounded is unfounded.
The changing course of the Amazon River in the Neogene: center stage for Neotropical diversification
The origins of the modern Amazon River are hypothesized to be linked with that of mega-wetland landscapes of tropical South America, which have persisted over about 10% northern South America under different configurations for >15 million years.
