TLDR
In this article, the authors found that the most dramatic changes have occurred in middle elevation shrublands dominated by creosotebush (Larrea tridentata), Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia), and/or blackbrush (Coleogyne ramossissima), where most of the fires occurred between 1980 and 2004.About:

Global pyrogeography: the current and future distribution of wildfire.
Meg A. Krawchuk,Max A. Moritz,Marc-André Parisien,Marc-André Parisien,Jeff Van Dorn,Katharine Hayhoe +5 more
TL;DR: A multivariate quantification of environmental drivers for the observed, current distribution of vegetation fires using statistical models of the relationship between fire activity and resources to burn, climate conditions, human influence, and lightning flash rates at a coarse spatiotemporal resolution is presented.

Kull,Michelle C. Mack,Max A. Moritz,Stephen J. Pyne,Christopher I. Roos,Andrew C. Scott,Navjot S. Sodhi,Thomas W. Swetnam +18 more
TL;DR: An historical framework is provided to promote understanding of the development and diversification of fire regimes, covering the pre-human period, human domestication of fire, and the subsequent transition from subsistence agriculture to industrial economies.

Vegetation mediated the impacts of postglacial climate change on fire regimes in the south-central Brooks Range, Alaska
TL;DR: This article examined direct and indirect impacts of millennial-scale climate change on fire regimes in the south-central Brooks Range, Alaska, USA, using four lake sediment records and existing paleoclimate interpretations.

Model Selection and Multimodel Inference: A Practical Information-Theoretic Approach
TL;DR: The second edition of this book is unique in that it focuses on methods for making formal statistical inference from all the models in an a priori set (Multi-Model Inference).
Journal ArticleDOI
Exaptation; a missing term in the science of form
TL;DR: This work presents several examples of exaptation, indicating where a failure to concep- tualize such an idea limited the range of hypotheses previously available, and proposes a terminological solution to the problem of preadaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological invasions by exotic grasses, the grass/fire cycle, and global change
TL;DR: Biological invasions into wholly new regions are a consequence of a far reaching but underappreciated component of global environmental change, the human-caused breakdown of biogeographic barriers to species dispersal.

Effects of Invasive Alien Plants on Fire Regimes
Matthew L. Brooks,Carla M. D'Antonio,David M. Richardson,James B. Grace,Jon E. Keeley,Joseph M. DiTomaso,Richard J. Hobbs,Mike Pellant,David A. Pyke +8 more
TL;DR: A multiphase model describing the interrelationships between plant invaders and fire regimes is presented, a system for evaluating the relative effects of invaders and prioritizing them for control is provided, and ways to restore pre-invasion fire regime properties are recommended.

Invasive species in a changing world
TL;DR: Here, the authors set out strategies for dealing with the problem of non-indigenous species entering into habitats because of the breakdown of long-established biogeographic barriers.
