Aim Little is known about factors affecting the elevational and longitudinal zonation of tropical Andean stream communities. We investigated epilithon, macroinvertebrate and fish assemblages along a 4100-m elevational–longitudi-nal gradient in an Andean headwater of the Amazon Basin. We interpret our results within the context of environmental factors, emphasizing temperature, as well as ecological theory relating shifts in metazoan functional feeding groups to shifts in basal resources along the fluvial continuum. Location Araza-Inambari-Madre de Dios watershed, south-eastern Peru. Methods We sampled water physicochemistry, epilithon and macroinverte-brate diversity and abundance, and fish diversity at 18 main-stem and 14 tribu-tary sites ...
