What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.
