Frequent burning and limited stand-replacing fire supports Mexican spotted owl pair occupancy
Jones, Clément, Latimer, Wright, Sanderlin, Hedwall, Kirby
Changing fire regimes have the potential to threaten wildlife populations and communities. Understanding species’ responses to novel fire regimes is critical to formulating effective management and conservation strategies in an era of rapid change.…

Wildfire probability estimated from recent climate and fine fuels across the big sagebrush region
Holdrege, Schlaepfer, Palmquist, Crist, Doherty, Lauenroth, Remington, Riley, Short, Tull, Wiechman, Bradford
Background: Wildfire is a major proximate cause of historical and ongoing losses of intact big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) plant communities and declines in sagebrush obligate wildlife species. In recent decades, fire return intervals…

Burning and logging differentially affect endemic vs. widely distributed butterfly species in Borneo
Cleary, Mooers
We assess the differential impact of logging and ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation)-induced disturbance on the relative butterfly abundance and species richness of range-restricted and widespread species within the island of Borneo. Relative…

Influence of fire and Juniper encroachment on birds in high-elevation sagebrush steppe
Noson, Schmitz, Miller
We examined relationships between high-elevation sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe habitats altered by prescribed fire and western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment on breeding distributions of Brewer's Sparrows (Spizella breweri),…

Short-term impact of 1997/1998 ENSO-induced disturbance on abundance and genetic variation in a tropical butterfly
Fauvelot, Cleary, Menken
In order to assess the short-term impact of habitat loss after disturbance, we studied Arhopala epimuta (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) populations in 5 landscapes in Borneo that were differentially affected by the 1997/1998 El Nino Southern Oscillation-…
