Pyric‐carnivory: Raptor use of prescribed fires [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractFire is a process that shaped and maintained most terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Changes in land use and patterns of human settlement have altered fire regimes and led to fire suppression resulting in numerous undesirable consequences spanning individual species and entire ecosystems.
