Aim Wildfires increasingly create large high‐severity patches with interior areas far from less
disturbed habitats. We evaluated how these trends impact bird communities by investigating …

Wildfire is an important ecological process that influences species' occurrence and
biodiversity generally. Its effect on bats is understudied, creating challenges for habitat …

Non‐linear and interacting effects of fire severity and time since fire may help explain how
pyrodiversity promotes biodiversity in fire‐adapted systems. We built on previous research …

Simple Summary Conservation funds and resources have long been globally inadequate,
and methods that could maximize conservation outcomes with limited investment, such as …

The extent of wildfires in the western United States is increasing, but how land ownership,
firefighting, and reserve status influence fire probability is unclear. California serves as a …

California spotted owls (CSO s)(Strix occidentalis occidentalis) have received significant
conservation attention beginning with the US Forest Service interim management guidelines …

Ecological disturbances are becoming more extensive and intensive globally, a trend
exemplified by 'megafires' and industrial deforestation, which cause widespread losses of …

The umbrella species concept is a frequently used concept in conservation since the
conservation of an umbrella species may benefit other species. Keystone species are often …

Birds respond rapidly to changes in both habitat and climate conditions and thus are good
indicators of the ecological effects of a changing climate, which may include warmer …

Changing fire regimes in western North America have raised the possibility of widespread
loss of forest cover, making forest restoration a major priority. In one such ecosystem, the …
