TL;DR: This article found that most threatened and destroyed buildings in the conterminous US were within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), but this varied considerably among states, and the greatest building loss were close to outreach programs, but the nearest Firewise community was established after wildfires had occurred for 76% of destroyed buildings.

TL;DR: This article used mixed effects models to quantify responses of overall and functional group abundance to heat waves and droughts (occurring alone or in concert) at two key periods in the annual cycle of birds: breeding and post-fledging.

TL;DR: It is suggested that quasi-experimental methods offer great potential for investigating many phenomena and processes in ecological and coupled human-natural systems and policy recommendations by ecologists may be more valuable when based on these methods.

TL;DR: This paper examined where wildfire damages occur among urban, rural and WUI (intermix and interface) areas for approximately three decades in California (1985-2013) and found that the interface WUI contained 50% of buildings destroyed by wildfire, whereas intermix WUI contain only 32%.

TL;DR: Gutman and Radeloff as discussed by the authors studied land cover and land use changes in Eastern Europe after the Collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and showed that land cover was not a good indicator of land use change.
