Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
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.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Past human‐induced ecological legacies as a driver of modern Amazonian resilience

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1415-1429, October 2023., 2023
Abstract People have modified landscapes throughout the Holocene (the last c. 11,700 years) by modifying soils, burning forests, cultivating and domesticating plants, and directly and indirectly enriched and depleted plant abundances. These activities also took place in Amazonia, which is the largest contiguous piece of rainforest in the world, and for

Mice population dynamics and structure over time and space after wildfires

Journal of Zoology, Volume 321, Issue 2, Page 128-141, October 2023., 2023
Wood and Algerian mice live syntopically within burnt areas, the former species being more abundant. In this study, adult females were recaptured more often over time, while males were found to cover greater distances. We found that recovery strategies of Mediterranean rodents are mainly driven by ex situ immigration from unburnt areas.

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.

An autonomous ground robot to support firefighters' interventions in indoor emergencies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 614-625, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Intervention teams act in hostile scenarios where reducing mission times and accident risks is critical. In these situations, the availability of accurate information about the environment plays a key role in ensuring the well‐being of rescuers and victims.
