- Fire frequency matters more than fire size: Testing the pyrodiversity-biodiversity paradigm for at-risk small mammals in an Australian tropical savanna (2015, background): “Fire is used extensively to manage the composition, structure and dynamics of plant and animal communities, especially in fire-prone environments like the dry sclerophyllous forests and savannas of Australia and southern Africa (Bowman et al., 2009; Bradstock et al., 2002).”
- A fresh framework for the ecology of arid Australia (2011, background): “Since European colonisation, the modification or cessation of Aboriginal fire regimes and other resource manipulation, combined with impacts of introduced species, has probably led to larger and more intense wildfires, increase of woody species, decline of native mammals, and decline of some plants ”
- A framework to predict the effects of livestock grazing and grazing exclusion on conservation values in natural ecosystems in Australia. (2007, background): “Australian ecosystems did not experience heavy grazing by ungulate herbivores before European colonisation (Mack and Thompson 1982) and fire, rather than grazing, is thought to be the major landscape-scale disturbance regime that structured Australian ecosystems before European settlement (Bowman 19”
- Contrasting mammal responses to vegetation type and fire (2008, background): “Indeed, unlike for plants where vital attribute models can (Whelan 1995; Bradstock et al. 2002; Andersen et al. 2003).”
