Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

How to prioritize species recovery after a megafire [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Due to climate change, megafires are increasingly common and have sudden, extensive impacts on many species over vast areas, leaving decision makers uncertain about how best to prioritize recovery. We devised a decision‐support framework to prioritize conservation actions to improve species outcomes immediately after a megafire.

Global effects of forest modification on herpetofauna communities [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract As the area covered by human‐modified environments grows, it is increasingly important to understand the responses of communities to the novel habitats created, especially for sensitive and threatened taxa. We aimed to improve understanding of the major evolutionary and ecological processes that shape the assemblage of amphibian and reptile ...

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 297-320, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Urban marketplace fires in Ghana are chronic, devasting in economic losses and disproportionately impacting informal sector workers. Yet, the scholarly works on urban disasters have focused on hydrometeorological and other man‐made disasters to the neglect of marketplace fires, particularly the challenges in risk communication between ...

Modeling mammal response to fire based on species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Fire has shaped ecological communities worldwide for millennia, but impacts of fire on individual species are often poorly understood. We performed a meta‐analysis to predict which traits, habitat, or study variables and fire characteristics affect how mammal species respond to fire.

International media coverage promotes donations to a climate disaster
Disasters, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 725-744, July 2023., 2023 The Australian bushfires in 2019–20 triggered massive amounts of charitable giving from the community. This study applied agenda‐setting theory to examine if and how disaster news coverage influenced public donations in response to the crisis. A survey of 949 Australians found that people perceived news coverage of the event to be a strong influence on

Disasters, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 806-829, July 2023., 2023 Psychological First Aid (PFA) is widely used in the early phases of disaster recovery, despite limited empirical evidence supporting its application. PFA aims to reduce distress and encourage adaptive coping and is grounded in five principles: the promotion of hope, self‐ and collective efficacy, social connectedness, safety, and calm.
