Localities are ordered west to east: BC = Benjamin Constant, JAU = Jaú, CUI = Cuieras, and CXN = Caxiuanã. Habitats are ordered by plant and vertebrate diversity gradient: TF = Terra‐firme, VZ = Várzea, IG = Igapó, and CAM = Campina. The highest number in each group is given in bold. Although the richest locality and soil layer varies depending on marker, for habitats campinas are consistently the richest for all markers.
