- Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system (2018, background): “…linking the evolution of key fire-tolerant traits (such as bark thickness and serotiny) to changes in fire regimes lend support to the idea that fire has driven the emergence and spread of these plant traits across diverse lineages (Crisp et al 2011, He et al 2012, 2011, Lamont et al 2013).”
- Fire-stimulated flowering among resprouters and geophytes in Australia and South Africa (2011, background): “Despite recent attempts to identify plant traits uniquely associated with fire (Crisp et al. 2011; He et al. 2011; Keeley et al. 2011), fire-stimulated flowering (fsf) has been ignored, yet potentially there can be no better demonstration of a fire-adapted trait than one whose expression is solely…”
- Costs and benefits of relative bark thickness in relation to fire damage: a savanna/forest contrast (2013, background): “…phylogenetic relationship between post-fire resprouting (epicormic) anatomy and the evolution of the Myrtaceae-dominated Australian savannas dating from 60 to 62 Ma in the earliest Palaeogene (Crisp et al. 2011), some 50 million years earlier than previously thought (Beerling & Osborne 2006).”
- Baptism by fire: the pivotal role of ancient conflagrations in evolution of the Earth's flora (2018, background): “Absence of these traits may be a secondary development where fire-prone lineages returned to fire-protected forests or other non-fire-prone habitats [68,71].”
