Wildfires in many western North American forests are becoming more frequent, larger, and
severe, with changed seasonal patterns. In response, coniferous forest ecosystems will …

Fire is a powerful environmental disturbance with the ability to shape many biomes
worldwide. However, global warming, land-use changes and other anthropogenic factors …

Aim Megafires are increasing in intensity and frequency globally. The impacts of megafires
on biodiversity can be severe, so conservation managers must be able to respond rapidly to …

Despite the existing large body of research on plant–animal interactions, plant research and
animal research are still relatively independent and asymmetrical in relation to disturbance …

Predictions of species' current and future ranges are needed to effectively manage species
under environmental change. Species ranges are typically estimated using correlative …

Wildfires shape ecosystems globally, yet little is known on their effects on wildlife distribution
and spatial behaviour. We used bats as models to test the effects of fire on ecosystems …

Aim Climatic extremes and fire affect ecosystems across the globe, yet our understanding of
how species are influenced by the interaction of these broadscale ecological drivers is …

Background When fire intervals are shorter than the time required for plants to reproduce,
plant populations are threatened by “immaturity risk.” Therefore, understanding how the time …

The concept that vegetation structure (and faunal habitat) develops predictably with time
since fire has been central to understanding the relationship between fire and fauna …

Abstract Knowledge of how factors such as climate, plant regeneration traits and fire
characteristics influence the rate and pattern of post-fire habitat change is crucial for …
