Abstract
► Sources of organic matter in lakes and rivers of Lower Amazon Basin investigated. ► Seasonal changes in fatty acids (FAs) and stable isotope signatures monitored. ► Contributions from phytoplankton and C3 aquatic plants were dominant. ► During dry season, concentration of FA markers increased in lake and river water. ► Lake autochthonous production was transferred to the Amazon River during dry season.
