Fire‐released seed dormancy ‐ a global synthesis
ABSTRACT Seed dormancy varies greatly between species, clades, communities, and regions. We propose that fireprone ecosystems create ideal conditions for the selection of seed dormancy as fire provides a mechanism for dormancy release and postfire conditions are optimal for germination.

The Australasian grass flora in a global context
Australasia is known for its globally unique flora and fauna, but does this apply to its grasses? We found that Australasian grass genera and species are either endemic or globally widespread, with 88% of its C3 and 93% of C4 species derived from places that had a long history of grassland ecosystems. Most grasses migrated into Australasia via stepping
