Fire shapes ecosystems globally, including semi-arid ecosystems. In Australia, semi-arid
'mallee'ecosystems occur primarily across the southern part of the continent, forming an …

Managing fire to achieve hazard reduction while providing for biodiversity conservation is
complex in fire‐prone regions. This challenge is exacerbated by limited understanding of …

Aim A common strategy for conserving biodiversity in fire‐prone environments is to maintain
a diversity of post‐fire age classes at the landscape scale, under the assumption that …

Fire is a major driver of ecosystem structure and function worldwide. It is also widely used as
a management tool to achieve conservation goals. A common objective is the maintenance …

Fire is both a widespread natural disturbance that affects the distribution of species and a
tool that can be used to manage habitats for species. Knowledge of temporal changes in the …

Aim We examined the century‐long post‐fire responses of reptiles to (1) determine the time‐
scales over which fauna–fire relationships occur,(2) assess the capacity of a conceptual …

A capacity to predict the effects of fire on biota is critical for conservation in fire‐prone
regions as it assists managers to anticipate the outcomes of different approaches to fire …

Fire influences the distribution of fauna in terrestrial biomes throughout the world. Use of fire
to achieve a mosaic of vegetation in different stages of succession after burning (ie, patch …

Aim Fire affects the structure and dynamics of ecosystems world‐wide, over long time
periods (decades and centuries) and at large spatial scales (landscapes and regions). A …

Tree hollows are a critical, yet potentially limiting habitat resource for many animal species.
Fire influences hollow availability, and the associated indirect effects on fauna can threaten …
