Pyrodiversity and biodiversity: A history, synthesis, and outlook
Aim Pyrodiversity is the spatial or temporal variability in fire effects across a landscape.
Multiple ecological hypotheses, when applied to the context of post‐fire systems, suggest …

Animal movements in fire‐prone landscapes
Movement is a trait of fundamental importance in ecosystems subject to frequent
disturbances, such as fire‐prone ecosystems. Despite this, the role of movement in …

Impact of 2019–2020 mega-fires on Australian fauna habitat
Abstract Australia's 2019–2020 mega-fires were exacerbated by drought, anthropogenic
climate change and existing land-use management. Here, using a combination of remotely …

Pyrodiversity is the coupling of biodiversity and fire regimes in food webs
Fire positively and negatively affects food webs across all trophic levels and guilds and
influences a range of ecological processes that reinforce fire regimes, such as nutrient …

Pyrodiversity promotes avian diversity over the decade following forest fire
An emerging hypothesis in fire ecology is that pyrodiversity increases species diversity. We
test whether pyrodiversity—defined as the standard deviation of fire severity—increases …

Faunal responses to fire in Australian tropical savannas: Insights from field experiments and their lessons for conservation management
AN Andersen - Diversity and distributions, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Fire is particularly frequent, complex and contentious in the vast tropical savannas of
northern Australia, where declines in many threatened species are associated with fire, and …

Effects of fire on pollinators and pollination
Increased incidence of landscape fire and pollinator declines with co‐extinctions of
dependent plant species are both globally significant. Fire can alter species distributions, but …

Putting pyrodiversity to work for animal conservation
An influential concept in ecology commonly guides conservation decision makers:
Environmental heterogeneity drives biodiversity (Stein et al. 2014). In the context of fire …

Rural abandoned landscapes and bird assemblages: winners and losers in the rewilding of a marginal mountain area (NW Spain)
In many regions of Europe, large-scale socio-economic changes have led to the
abandonment of rural activities and a gradual takeover of natural vegetation. It is important …

Compact cities or sprawling suburbs? Optimising the distribution of people in cities to maximise species diversity
Conservation of biodiversity in urban environments depends on species' responses to the
intensity of urban development.“Land sharing” and “land sparing” represent alternate ends …
