Animal mortality during fire
Jolly, Dickman, Doherty, van Eeden, Geary, Legge, Woinarski, Nimmo
Earth's rapidly warming climate is propelling us towards an increasingly fire-prone future. Currently, knowledge of the extent and characteristics of animal mortality rates during fire remains rudimentary, hindering our ability to predict how animal…

Mixed-severity wildfire shapes habitat use of large herbivores and carnivores
Lewis, LeSueur, Oakleaf, Rubin
Ecological disturbance is a driving force that structures ecosystems and shapes landscape pattern. Wildfire is a widespread form of ecological disturbance, and in some vegetation communities fires are increasing in extent and severity. Across the…

Identifying microclimate tree seedling refugia in post-wildfire landscapes
Marsh, Krofcheck, Hurteau
High-severity wildfire in arid regions has caused ecological state change, transforming previously forested areas into shrublands. This dramatically alters the microclimatic conditions, which can exceed the climatic tolerance of tree seedlings,…
