Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

Fire regimes are a major agent of evolution in terrestrial animals. Changing fire regimes and
the capacity for rapid evolution in wild animal populations suggests the potential for rapid …

Human actions are causing widespread increases in fire size, frequency, and severity in
diverse ecosystems globally. This alteration of fire regimes is considered a threat to …

Mature forests provide important wildlife habitat and support critical ecosystem functions
globally. Within the dry conifer forests of the western United States, past management and …

Aim After environmental disasters, species with large population losses may need urgent
protection to prevent extinction and support recovery. Following the 2019–2020 Australian …

Dry conifer forests in the western US historically experienced frequent fire prior to European
American colonization. Mean fire return interval ranged from about 5–35 years, with the …

Monitoring population size at ecosystem scales is difficult for most species of conservation
concern. While assessing site occupancy at broad scales has proven feasible, rigorous …

Climate change and human activities have disrupted historical fire regimes, leading to
complex and far‐reaching impacts on global ecosystems. Despite extensive research in fire …

Predator populations are imperiled globally, due in part to changing habitat and trophic
interactions. Theoretical and laboratory studies suggest that heterogeneous landscapes …

Background Fire-adapted forests in western North America are experiencing rapid changes
to fire regimes that are outside the range of historic norms. Some habitat-specialist species …
