The ecology of seed dispersal by vertebrates has been investigated extensively over recent
decades, yet only limited research has been conducted on how suites of invasive plants and …

Some of the most damaging invasive plants are dispersed by frugivores and this is an area
of emerging importance in weed management. It highlights the need for practical information …

Aim To quantify the impact of the 2019–2020 megafires on Australian plant diversity by
assessing burnt area across 26,062 species ranges and the effects of fire history on recovery …

Postfire resprouting and recruitment from seed are key plant life-history traits that influence
population dynamics, community composition and ecosystem function. Species can have one …

We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the
Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 …

The importance of ecological management for reducing the vulnerability of biodiversity to
climate change is increasingly recognized, yet frameworks to facilitate a structured approach to …

Habitat fragmentation alters fire regimes by changing the spatial and temporal context in which
fire operates, potentially altering ecosystem state and threatening taxa. In the fragmented …

Mallee‐heath and mallee communities occur in a mosaic across large areas of south‐western
Australia, in topographically subdued and fire‐prone landscapes. Consequently, it could …

Aim Existing abiotic and biotic threats to plant species (eg, disease, drought, invasive species)
affect their capacity to recover post‐fire. We use a new, globally applicable framework to …

Australia's Great Western Woodlands are the largest intact temperate woodland ecosystem
on Earth, spanning an area the size of the average European country. These woodlands are …
