  abstract = {{I}n the {A}mazon, the world's largest river basin, migrations within freshwater habitats are one of the predominant life history strategies for fishes. {T}he flood pulse and the extensive river network provide aquatic organisms with temporal and spatial accessibility to a mosaic of freshwater habitats. {A}lthough migratory fish species are central to freshwater ecosystems and fisheries, the knowledge of species and migratory patterns has traditionally relied on anecdotal and scattered information, lacking a unifying methodological and conceptual framework. {W}e quantitatively synthesize the evidence about this biological phenomenom in the {A}mazon basin through a systematic literature review. {W}e constructed a reference database of migratory events in the {A}mazon basin, including species, life stages, purposes, direction, habitats and subbasins. {W}e found that 223 species were documented in 90 references as performing migrations distributed across eight orders and 31 families. {M}igration is a conserved trait in the evolutionary history of {A}mazonian fish fauna, suggesting that similar to 41% of migratory species are likely unreported. {W}e noted a geographical bias in the report of migratory events towards 13 of the 27 major subbasins of the {A}mazon. {W}e found a significant association between the hydrological timing at the beginning and end of migrations across species, including reproduction as the most commonly reported purpose. {H}owever, most species lack the application of robust methods (e.g. telemetry, otolith microchemistry) to classify them as migratory, relying upon secondary sources of information (i.e. reviews or species checklists). {F}urther, we discuss future opportunities and challenges to continue the study of fish migrations in the {A}mazon basin.},
