Aim: Community phylogenetics provides important information about the evolutionary and ecological factors help structure regional species assemblages. Here, we analyze phylogenetic diversity (phylodiversity) patterns among fish species in 97 sub-drainages of the Amazon basin, to evaluate the roles of historical and contemporary processes in generating and maintaining the exceptional richness and endemism of Amazonian fish species assemblages. Location: Amazon River basin Taxon: Freshwater fishes Methods: Using a large comprehensive database of freshwater fish species distributions, and a well-sampled molecular phylogeny of ray-finned (actinopterygian) fishes, we develop of multivariate statistical model to correlate estimated historical and contemporary environmental parameters with sub-drainage phylodiversity patterns. The model employs three phylogenetic metrics: i.e.: phylogenetic diversity (PD) sensu stricto, mean pairwise phylogenetic distance (MPD) between species capturing phylodiversity variation at older evolutionary timescales), and mean nearest taxon distance (MNTD) capturing variation in phylodiversity at younger evolutionary timescales. Results: The model recovered significant effects of elevation gradients, contemporary climate, habitat fragmentation, water types, and past marine incursions on assemblage phylodiversity patterns. The model also found significantly negative relationships among the three phylogenetic metrics, and between these metrics and distance to mouth of the Amazon, representing a West-East longitudinal gradient. Main conclusions: Our study revealed a highly non-random spatial and environmental distribution of our three phylogenetic diversity metrics across the 97 sub-drainages of the Amazon basin. Beyond significant regional effects of several environmental and historical drivers, we also found a significant West-East gradient of increasing phylogenetic diversity and phylogenetic relatedness, both patterns suggesting deeper evolutionary divergences among taxa located to the east, and more diverse, more recent radiations in the western sub-drainages. We conclude that western Amazonia can be seen as an evolutionary cradle of biodiversity for freshwater fishes in the Amazon basin as a whole.
