Aim Climate warming and increased wildfire activity are hypothesized to catalyse
biogeographical shifts, reducing the resilience of fire‐prone forests world‐wide. Two key …

Background The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating
serious consequences for human health, biodiversity, and climate. However, it remains …

Large‐and medium‐sized mammals play a unique role in ecosystem dynamics. They can
change the physical and biotic landscape by altering the flow of resources among trophic …

Abstract Background Karuk and Yurok tribes in northwestern California, USA, are revitalizing
the practice of cultural burning, which is the use of prescribed burns to enhance culturally …

Shifting fire regimes are substantially changing North American forests. It is thus critical to
understand how wildfires affect forest wildlife, especially for species managed for harvest …

Wildfires are increasing in size, frequency and severity due to climate change and fire
suppression, but the direct and indirect effects on wildlife remain largely unresolved. Fire …

Ecological disturbance is a driving force that structures ecosystems and shapes landscape
pattern. Wildfire is a widespread form of ecological disturbance, and in some vegetation …

Ungulates commonly select habitat with higher forage biomass and or nutritional quality to
improve body condition and fitness. However, predation risk can alter ungulate habitat …

Deserts are often highly biodiverse and provide important habitats for many threatened
species. Fire is a dominant disturbance in deserts, and prescribed burning is increasingly …

Fire severity and herbivory by wild and domestic ungulates can strongly influence
regeneration and recruitment of plant species. Importantly, the effects of herbivores on …
