How fire interacts with habitat loss and fragmentation
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 …

Animal movements in fire‐prone landscapes
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 …

Global gene flow releases invasive plants from environmental constraints on genetic diversity
When plants establish outside their native range, their ability to adapt to the new
environment is influenced by both demography and dispersal. However, the relative …

Fire and its interactions with other drivers shape a distinctive, semi-arid 'Mallee'ecosystem
Fire shapes ecosystems globally, including semi-arid ecosystems. In Australia, semi-arid
'mallee'ecosystems occur primarily across the southern part of the continent, forming an …

Fire and habitat variables explain reptile community abundance and richness in subtropical open eucalypt forests
DA Partridge, T Lewis, CT Tran… - International Journal of …, 2023 - CSIRO Publishing
Fire alters habitat structure, thereby influencing fauna reliant on specific habitat features,
particularly those with low dispersal capability such as reptiles. We quantified reptile …
