BACKGROUND Fire has shaped the diversity of life on Earth for millions of years. Variation
in fire regimes continues to be a source of biodiversity across the globe, and many plants …

Wildfires have complex impacts on forests, including changes in vegetation, threats to
biodiversity, and emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which exacerbate …

Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are
largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels …

Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

Earth's rapidly warming climate is propelling us towards an increasingly fire‐prone future.
Currently, knowledge of the extent and characteristics of animal mortality rates during fire …

Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Planet Earth is entering the age of megafire, pushing ecosystems to their limits and beyond.
While fire causes mortality of animals across vast portions of the globe, scientists are only …

Biodiversity faces many threats and these can interact to produce outcomes that may not be
predicted by considering their effects in isolation. Habitat loss and fragmentation (hereafter …

Abstract Knowledge of how disturbances such as fire shape habitat structure and
composition, and affect animal interactions, is fundamental to ecology and ecosystem …

Fire can promote biodiversity, but changing patterns of fire threaten species worldwide.
While scientific literature often describes ''inappropriate fire regimes''as a significant threat to …
