Climate change and human activities have disrupted historical fire regimes, leading to
complex and far‐reaching impacts on global ecosystems. Despite extensive research in fire …

Coastal dunes represent habitat for wildlife yet are chronically understudied and are
threatened by anthropogenically driven processes from their landward and seaward …

Fire shapes animal communities by altering resource availability and species interactions,
including between predators and prey. In Australia, there is particular concern that two …

Enhanced understanding of relationships between functional diversity (FD) and
environmental gradients is crucial given accelerating rates of land-cover change and …

Although organisms make resource selection decisions at multiple spatiotemporal scales,
not all scales are ecologically relevant to any given organism. Ecological patterns and …

When foraging, making appropriate food choices is crucial to an animal's fitness. Classic
foraging ecology theories assume animals choose food of greatest benefit based on their …

In hot environments, where many species seek shade to decrease their heat load at midday,
sexual differences in heat sensitivity could lead to different patterns of shelter use in males …

Mammals can have either generalized (mixed) or specialized diets. We expected swamp
wallabies (Wallabia bicolor) to have mixed diets, and predicted a negative relationship …

Altered fire regimes threaten biodiversity, but there is limited understanding of the
mechanisms driving population declines. Relationships between mammal occurrence and …

Determining the factors influencing habitat selection and hunting success in top predators is
crucial for understanding how these species may respond to environmental changes. For …
