Fire in Semi-Arid Shrublands and Woodlands: Spatial and Temporal Patterns in an Australian Landscape
Semi-arid landscapes are of interest to fire ecologists because they are generally located in the climatic transition zone between arid lands (where fires tend to be rare due to lack of fuel, but are enhanced following large rainfall episodes) and more mesic regions (where fire activity tends to be…

Rapid Recovery of an Urban Remnant Reptile Community following Summer Wildfire.
Reptiles in urban remnants are threatened with extinction by increased fire frequency, habitat fragmentation caused by urban development, and competition and predation from exotic species. Understanding how urban reptiles respond to and recover from such disturbances is key to their conservation…

Nest boxes as a recovery tool for hollow‐using mammals following fire
Abstract Tree hollows are a critical habitat resource for a vast array of vertebrate species globally; in Australia, they are used by over 300 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. The decline of hollow‐bearing trees due to disturbances like shifting fire regimes has prompted the use of nest…

Invasive Predator Management Can Mitigate the Impacts of Fire and Low Rainfall for Some Herpetofauna
ABSTRACT Effective wildlife conservation relies on understanding how threats and associated management actions can interact to affect biodiversity. However, the impacts of concurrent disturbances on wildlife can be complex and difficult to predict. Altered fire regimes, invasive predators, and…

Conservation or politics? Australia's target to kill 2 million cats
Abstract The Australian Government's 5‐year Threatened Species Strategy contains four priority action areas and associated targets. Here, we argue that the well‐publicized target to cull 2 million feral cats has a weak scientific basis because: (1) reliable estimates of Australia's cat population…

How do invasive predators and their native prey respond to prescribed fire?
Abstract Fire shapes animal communities by altering resource availability and species interactions, including between predators and prey. In Australia, there is particular concern that two highly damaging invasive predators, the feral cat (Felis catus) and European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), increase…

Artificial refuges did not increase small mammal abundance after fire
Abstract The interacting threats of invasive predators and altered fire regimes are key conservation issues for many native species globally. Artificial refuges have been proposed as a potential conservation tool to provide prey species with protection from invasive predators after fire, but we do…

The value of saltbush revegetation for biodiversity in a highly fragmented landscape
Abstract Secondary salinization is a significant global issue affecting up to 1 billion hectares of land, impacting biodiversity and particularly vegetation. One form of revegetation that can provide a return to landholders is saltbush (Atriplex spp.), which provides forage for a wide range of…

A global synthesis and assessment of free-ranging domestic cat diet
Abstract Free-ranging cats (Felis catus) are globally distributed invasive carnivores that markedly impact biodiversity. Here, to evaluate the potential threat of cats, we develop a comprehensive global assessment of species consumed by cats. We identify 2,084 species eaten by cats, of which 347…

Distinctive diets of eutherian predators in Australia
Introduction of the domestic cat and red fox has devastated Australian native fauna. We synthesized Australian diet analyses to identify traits of prey species in cat, fox and dingo diets, which prey were more frequent or distinctive to the diet of each predator, and quantified dietary overlap…

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology
Abstract Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences among researchers in the decisions they…
