The Mechanisms Through Which Fire Drives Population Change in Terrestrial Biota. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Understanding the mechanisms through which fire influences populations is necessary to protect species from fire regime change. We develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes influence terrestrial species populations, including for amphibians, birds, fungi, insects, mammals, plants, and reptiles.

Empirical relationships between tree fall and landscape-level amounts of logging and fire. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Large old trees are critically important keystone structures in forest ecosystems globally. Populations of these trees are also in rapid decline in many forest ecosystems, making it important to quantify the factors that influence their dynamics at ...

Thermal drone surveys to detect arboreal fauna: Improving population estimates and threatened species monitoring. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Sound methods to determine species occurrence and abundance are crucial for successful wildlife management and conservation. When species communities cannot be readily detected using camera traps or acoustic monitoring, ground survey methods such as spotlighting on foot are commonly used.

Variable retention harvesting in Victoria’s Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests (southeastern Australia)

Ecological Processes, 2019
Variable retention harvesting is a silvicultural system that focuses on retaining key elements of stand structure at the time of logging and is increasingly being used worldwide. We describe the design and establishment of a variable retention harvesting

Using Tree Detection Algorithms to Predict Stand Sapwood Area, Basal Area and Stocking Density in Eucalyptus regnans Forest

Remote Sensing, 2015
Managers of forested water supply catchments require efficient and accurate methods to quantify changes in forest water use due to changes in forest structure and density after disturbance. Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data with as few as 0.

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.

Diversity and Plasticity of Hydraulic Traits Across a Relative Moisture Supply Gradient: Results From Multiple Common Gardens

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 10207-10224, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Given their global domain and their enduring presence across geological eras,

Plantation species-specific adjustment functions for the Forest Carbon Predictor in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2018
Background New Zealand’s planted forest area is dominated by radiata pine (90%), but also includes Douglas-fir (6%), and a range of minor species including eucalypts and cypress.

More Cameras, Less Time: Increasing Detectability in Camera Trap Surveys

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Camera trapping is an increasingly popular method for surveying wildlife, especially for conservation management. Two important considerations in the design of camera surveys are (a) the number of detection units (cameras or camera‐groups) per site and (b) deployment time. The trade‐off between these two factors will likely affect data quality

Wildfire in wet sclerophyll forests: the interplay between disturbances and fuel dynamics

Ecosphere, 2018
There are multiple pathways for vegetation to change following disturbances. Understanding those post‐disturbance pathways is critical for managing wildfire risk since vegetation is fuel in a wildfire context. Across forest systems, there is considerable
