Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force that regulates organismal traits,
population sizes, species interactions, community composition, carbon and nutrient cycling …

Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

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 …

Human activity and land use change impact every landscape on Earth, driving declines in
many animal species while benefiting others. Species ecological and life history traits may …

Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

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 …

Wildfires in many western North American forests are becoming more frequent, larger, and
severe, with changed seasonal patterns. In response, coniferous forest ecosystems will …

Wildfires are increasing in size, frequency and severity due to climate change and fire
suppression, but the direct and indirect effects on wildlife remain largely unresolved. Fire …

Background Predators and fire shape ecosystems across the globe and these two forces
can interact to impact prey populations. This issue is particularly pertinent in Australia where …

Increasingly frequent megafires are dramatically altering landscapes and critical habitats
around the world. Across the western United States, megafires have become an almost …
