Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “Species with breeding strategies that facilitate rapid population growth are likely to be more resilient to resource bottlenecks induced by disturbances such as fire (Whelan et al., 2002) and cyclones (Johnson et al., 2011).”
Towards an understanding of the evolutionary role of fire in animals (2018, background): “An iconic example is the Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) that was very rare in Australia and thought to have gone extinct after the extensive 1939 Black Friday fires burned their entire distribution range (Gibbons and Lindenmayer 2002).”
Catering for the needs of fauna in fire management: science or just wishful thinking? (2008, background): “As several authors have stressed (e.g. Friend 1993; Whelan et al. 2002; Kenny et al. 2004), our current understanding of the relative importance of any components of the fire regime for the persistence of fauna within a landscape is extremely limited.”
