Here, we established a framework for known and hypothesized impacts of wildfires on wildlife disease. We outlined how fires could alter host immunity, behavior, and population dynamics, presenting hypotheses for their effects on wildlife disease. Where possible, we provided evidence for the links that...
“It’s been a scrappy operation from its infancy,” she says. “But eventually, I came to this 'ah ha moment', where I realized there must be something I could do to mobilize the running community I’m a part of to make a positive impact in the face of such a crisis.” Relief...
“If populations of these animals don’t recover from events such as this summer’s widespread bushfires, that could have long-term consequences for future fire risk,” she said. “One thing I am concerned about at the moment is the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on conservation and monito...
Australia is currently being ravaged by bushfires, once again. Donate to these organizations that are working to help victims and put out the fires.
However, permafrost thawing driven by climate or fire could turn upland boreal soils into temporary CH4 sources, depending on how fast the transition from moist to drier soils occurs. Most studies indicate a slight decrease or no significant change in postfire nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes. However...
As Australia heads into a new summer season, we all hope the weather will be less severe and that the country can avoid a repeat of the 2019-2020 catastrophe. Paul Scerri, REC Director of Sales for Australia and New Zealand, speaks for the entire REC community, both in Australia and wor...
Devastating bushfires have been spreading across Australia for months, and they show no signs of slowing down. Millions of acres have burned, destroying about 2,000 homes and killing at least 25 people. It is estimated that more than half a billion wild animals have perished in the flames ...
Kids can get worried duringbushfires, and fire emergencies have been linked with a reduction in children'smental health. Stories such as theBirdie's Tree bookscan help children understand these events do pass and people help one another in times of difficulty. Learning more about air pollution ...
Bushfire ash may have a more direct impact, by covering the surface of the water so light, which microalgae need to grow, can't penetrate. This can cause microalgae to die or grow very slowly. A mass death of microalgae could then change the amount of oxygen available in the water for ...
