TL;DR: A research agenda is defined to maximise the rate of learning in this difficult field of fire management, including measuring responses at a species level, building capacity to implement natural experiments, undertaking simulation modelling, and judicious application of experimental approaches.

TL;DR: A systematic review of 655 conservation-related publications compared five topics: climate change, habitat restoration, population viability analysis, land planning (systematic conservation planning) and invasive species, finding that the quality of dispersal data used in climate change research has increased since the 1990s.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review fire management actions that can conflict with biodiversity conservation and develop a framework based on decision theory that could be applied to minimize these conflicts, which can be used to compare explicitly the effectiveness of different management choices for conserving species and for protecting assets.

TL;DR: Using useful lessons relevant to other monitoring programs where there is a need to provide managers with reliable early evidence of program effectiveness and to demonstrate opportunities for cost-efficiencies are discussed.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the small vertebrate community uses the gorge in the Australian tropical savanna as a dry season refuge, and the generality of this unreplicated finding could be tested by extending this type of survey to tropical savannahs worldwide.
