  abstract = {{A}im {A} primary goal of community ecology is to understand the mechanisms that drive species' spatial distribution and habitat associations. {S}pecies' geographic distribution can be influenced by the distribution of their prey partly because consumers' behaviour is oriented to optimal energy use during foraging. {W}e analysed how differences in dietary preferences influence the spatial distribution and habitat associations of species at the landscape scale. {W}e hypothesized that differences in feeding guilds will lead to divergent habitat association patterns among species. {L}ocation {A}mazon {R}iver drainage basin. {T}axon {C}haraciform fishes in the family {S}errasalmidae (piranhas and pacus). {M}ethods {W}e used diet data to classify species into feeding guilds (frugivores, herbivores, piscivores, fin and scale feeders and planktivores). {W}e used three proxies of habitat association derived from satellite products: floodplain extent, landscape heterogeneity and flood duration, in three distance buffers. {W}e implemented phylogenetic generalized least squares models to evaluate the relationship between habitat association and feeding guilds. {R}esults {F}rugivores, piscivores and fin and scale feeders presented similar patterns of habitat associations, with frugivores occupying wider areas of floodplain and greater landscape heterogeneity. {H}erbivores and planktivores were associated with smaller floodplain extents and lower landscape heterogeneity. {A}ll feeding guilds were associated with similar levels of flood duration. {M}ain conclusions {D}ifferences in resource distribution (assessed through feeding guilds) can influence habitat association. {C}onsidering the hydrological variability (i.e. floodplain extent) and landscape heterogeneity that characterize floodplains, the patterns of habitat association vary with the spatial scale considered. {T}his work highlights the importance of understanding species habitat associations by fish as well as food resource dynamics and floodplain dependence. {T}his realization is critical for assessing the impact of anthropogenic activities on freshwater ecosystems.},
