  abstract = {{U}sing the most comprehensive fish occurrence database, we evaluated the importance of ecological and historical drivers in diversity patterns of subdrainage basins across the {A}mazon system. {L}inear models reveal the influence of climatic conditions, habitat size and sub-basin isolation on species diversity. {U}nexpectedly, the species richness model also highlighted a negative upriver-downriver gradient, contrary to predictions of increasing richness at more downriver locations along fluvial gradients. {T}his reverse gradient may be linked to the history of the {A}mazon drainage network, which, after isolation as western and eastern basins throughout the {M}iocene, only began flowing eastward 1-9 million years ({M}a) ago. {O}ur results suggest that the main center of fish diversity was located westward, with fish dispersal progressing eastward after the basins were united and the {A}mazon {R}iver assumed its modern course toward the {A}tlantic. {T}his dispersal process seems not yet achieved, suggesting a recent formation of the current {A}mazon system.},
