Abstract: The link between ‘fire mosaics’ and persistence of animal species is part of a prominent ecological/land management paradigm. This paradigm deals largely with the effects of fire on animals on the basis of individual events. The universality of the paradigm can be questioned on a variety of grounds, a major deficiency being the inability to deal with quantitative effects of recurrent fire (the fire regime). A conceptual model of fire-related habitat elements is proposed for exploration of a continuum of specie… Show more

“…The spatial properties of fires are also important in management of fire for biodiversity (Bradstock et al 2005;Parr & Andersen 2006). Fires generate heterogeneous landscapes consisting of patches with different fire histories (Turner et al 994;Bradstock et al 2005).…”

“…Autecological studies build knowledge to guide the management of populations and single species but the pragmatism and compromise inherent in synecology is needed in order to manage the many populations that comprise an ecological community (Bradstock et al 2005). The Ground Parrot, which has been iconic in the investigation of fire regimes in heathlands, has played an integral and sometimes leading part in the conservation management of these fire-prone communities.…”

“…Furthermore, the present-day threat of habitat fragmentation likely means that the impact of fires are potentially greater than in the evolutionary history of species (Robinson et al, 2013). The general use of "patchy" fire mosaics for the conservation of animal species dominates the literature (e.g., Bradstock et al, 2005, Christensen and Kimber, 1975, Woinarski, 1999. But the importance of heterogeneity in fire-age, size of patches and severity of the fire likely depends on context, and in particular small mammals may depend on the retention of older vegetation (Kelly et al, 2012).…”

“…A prominent paradigm in conservation management is that fire mosaics (spatial variation in fire and creating a diversity of fire-ages) are an effective strategy for the persistence of animal species by mediating heterogeneity in habitats (e.g., Christensen and Kimber, 1975, Woinarski, 1999, Short and Smith, 1994, and it has been shown that the retention of older vegetation within a fire mosaic is important for Australian small mammals (Kelly et al, 2010, Kelly et al, 2011, Kelly et al, 2012. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is likely to be highly variable and context-dependent (Bradstock et al, 2005). The demonstrated habitat requirements of species provide potential guidelines for fire management .…”
