Fire management for biodiversity conservation: Key research questions and our capacity to answer them (2010, background): “, 1958), although in the past much fire research was poorly designed (Parr and Chown, 2003).”
Insect diversity in Cape fynbos and neighbouring South African vegetation (2006, background): “Cowling, 1987), may impact on insect diversification, given the limited understanding we currently have on insect fire ecology ( Parr & Chown, 2003 ) or edaphic requirements.”
Long‐term fire exclusion and ant community structure in an Australian tropical savanna: congruence with vegetation succession (2006, background): “Studies of ecological responses to fire exclusion at the site are inherently unreplicated, given that only a single (albeit large) block has been so treated, which obviously limits interpretation of results (Parr & Chown, 2003).”
Towards an understanding of the evolutionary role of fire in animals (2018, background): “2011, 2012), understanding of how fauna has responded to fire is much more limited (Parr and Chown 2003).”
Ants, altitude and change in the northern Cape Floristic Region (2006, methodology): “These differences may well be a consequence of the methods used, and certainly this study did not attempt to investigate post-fire age in a wellreplicated explicit fashion (see Parr & Chown, 2003, for discussion).”
Influence of fire history on small mammal distributions: insights from a 100‐year post‐fire chronosequence (2011, background): “A second issue relates to the small spatial extent at which fire responses typically are studied, compared with the large geographical areas over which fire and fire management occur (Parr & Chown, 2003).”
Managing fire mosaics for small mammal conservation: a landscape perspective (2012, background): “It is also widely used to manage habitats to achieve conservation goals: notably in Africa (Parr & Chown 2003), Australia(Andersenet al.2005)andNorthAmerica(Nosset al. 2006).”
Post‐fire recovery of Mediterranean ground ant communities follows vegetation and dryness gradients (2006, background): “…exists on the response of plant communities to fires (e.g. Trabaud, 1981; Bond & van Wilgen, 1996; Kutiel, 2000), research on the response of animal communities is less well developed (Monamy & Fox, 2000; Parr & Chown, 2003), particularly for invertebrates (Andersen, 1991a; Folgarait, 1998).”
