This volume, a guide to tropical streams and rivers, will be of particular interest to naturalists and students during field trips and other visits. It focuses on the ecological functions of rainforest streams, and their interdependencies with the surrounding landscape. Based on recent studies in the lowland rainforests of the Piedras Blancas National Park - and accompanied by a large number of illustrative photographs - the rich and unique biodiversity of Neotropical streams, and their natural beauty, are outlined and explored.
