Aim The aim was to determine how reptile populations respond to anthropogenic habitat
modification and determine whether species traits and environmental factors influence such …

Fire influences the distribution of fauna in terrestrial biomes throughout the world. Use of fire
to achieve a mosaic of vegetation in different stages of succession after burning (ie, patch …

Conservation of biodiversity in fire‐prone regions depends on understanding responses to
fire in animal communities and the mechanisms governing these responses. We collated …

Aim A common assumption in fire ecology and management is that landscapes with a
greater diversity of fire‐ages will support a greater diversity of animal species (ie …

Altered fire regimes are a driver of biodiversity decline. To plan effective management, we
need to know how species are influenced by fire and to develop theory describing fire …

Major landscape transformations have occurred in the northern Mediterranean over the last
decades, including urbanization, agricultural intensification and land abandonment, which …

Ecological theory predicting the impact of fire on ecological communities is typically focused
on post-disturbance recovery processes or on disturbance-diversity dynamics. Yet the …

The increased severity and frequency of bushfires accompanying human-induced global
warming have dire implications for biodiversity conservation. Here we investigate the …

Extensive wildfires can have profound impacts on fauna communities by altering the
vegetation structure and resource availability. However, unburnt areas within a fire mosaic …

Dispersal fundamentally influences spatial population dynamics but little is known about
dispersal variation in landscapes where spatial heterogeneity is generated predominantly …
