Managing Fire Mosaics for Biodiversity
… wildfire-mediated habitat heterogeneity (i.e., pyrodiversity) better explains species richness and beta diversity of beetles, plants, and birds than island area, isolation, and habitat amount. My findings support the pyrodiversity-biodiversity hypothesis and the idea that boreal biodiversity is …

Behavioral ecology of wild turkeys
… and non-burned forest suggests that managing for pyrodiversity in forested landscapes of Illinois may provide a range of habitats that are valuable for nesting and brood-rearing turkeys. In Chapter 3, I used hidden Markov models to classify activity data collected from hens during each nest …

The impact of wildfire on avian communities: exploring habitat associations two decades after fire
… findings point to the importance of preserving pyrodiversity on the landscape to maximize suitable habitat for the greatest number of species, especially as it pertains to preserving adequate proportions of low-severity patches for forest-associated species who require intact canopy cover. …

Assessing the Influence of Prescribed Fire on Faunal Communities in a Pyric Landscape
… by the heterogeneity of post fire conditions, or pyrodiversity. Avian species richness of the cavity nesting guild was negatively influenced by increasing time-since-fire. Our results suggest that managers can promote avian community diversity by reducing the size of burn units to create areas …

Within-fire patchiness associated with prescribed burning in the northern Jarrah forests of Western Australia
There is growing understanding of the importance of landscape mosaics and heterogeneity for biodiversity outcomes in Western Australia. However, there is limited information on the patchiness (spatial configuration of unburnt and burnt patches which occur at a range of spatial scales) within the …
