The topics of succession and post‐disturbance ecosystem recovery have a long and
convoluted history. There is extensive redundancy within this body of theory, which has …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

The loss of open habitats in Europe has led to severe declines in birds associated with these
habitats. However, certain ecological disturbances reverse the trend towards afforestation …

According to the pyrodiversity paradigm, a wide range of fire regimes is required to maintain
biodiversity in fire‐prone landscapes. However, the requisite level of pyrodiversity has …

A capacity to predict the effects of fire on biota is critical for conservation in fire‐prone
regions as it assists managers to anticipate the outcomes of different approaches to fire …

Aim Extreme climatic events and large wildfires are predicted to increase as the world's
climate warms. Understanding how they shape species' distributions will be critical for …

Planned burning generates different types of pyrodiversity, however, experimental tests of
how alternative spatial patterns of burning influence animal communities remain rare. Field …
