“…Greater numbers of flowervisiting insects following burn events in Longleaf Pine habitats may increase the abundance of some robber fly species. Means (2006) emphasized the value of dead trees, stumps, and prescribed fire, for vertebrate species in Longleaf Pine upland habitats. On Fort Stewart, we found a number of robber fly species to be strongly associated with the trunks of live Longleaf Pines and/or Longleaf Pine snags and logs (e.g., Efferia femorata, L. cinerea, L. affinus, L. saffrana, Proctacanthus heros, M. blantoni, M. maneei, and Atomosia puella).…”

“…The longleaf pine savanna ecosystem is imperiled, and over the last few decades there have been extensive restoration efforts (Van Lear et al 2005). Like many other savanna systems, fire exclusion drastically reduced endemic floral and faunal diversity (Van Lear et al 2005; Means 2006; Nowacki & Abrams 2008). Restoration activities in longleaf savannas aim to reestablish vegetation structure, typically by promoting a mature pine overstory with an open canopy and reintroducing fire to maintain understory structure and composition (Van Lear et al 2005).…”

“…Several studies have identified fine‐scale heterogeneity as important for maintaining bird, small mammal, invertebrate, and reptile diversity, but rarely for larger vertebrates (Batary & Baldi, 2004; Hurst et al, 2013; Lang et al, 2002; Magura, 2002; Reynolds et al, 2018). Understanding how species respond to edges at fine scales is important in maintaining diverse wildlife communities within longleaf pine ecosystems and can improve restoration efforts (Goodrich & Buskirk, 1995; Linnell & Strand, 2000; Means, 2007).…”
