Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

Fire regimes are a major agent of evolution in terrestrial animals. Changing fire regimes and
the capacity for rapid evolution in wild animal populations suggests the potential for rapid …

Abstract Australia's 2019–2020 mega-fires were exacerbated by drought, anthropogenic
climate change and existing land-use management. Here, using a combination of remotely …

Aim After environmental disasters, species with large population losses may need urgent
protection to prevent extinction and support recovery. Following the 2019–2020 Australian …

Aim The incidence of major fires is increasing globally, creating extraordinary challenges for
governments, managers and conservation scientists. In 2019–2020, Australia experienced …

Long-term monitoring programs are fundamental to understanding the natural environment
and managing major environmental problems. Yet they are often done very poorly and …

We quantify the relationship between forest stand age and fire severity using a detailed case
study of Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans Muell) forest burned in south‐eastern Australia …

The influence of plant traits on forest fire behaviour has evolutionary, ecological and
management implications, but is poorly understood and frequently discounted. We use a …

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 …

Increasing numbers of ecosystems globally are at risk of collapse. However, most
descriptions of terrestrial ecosystem collapse are post hoc with few empirically based …
