A great deal is already known about fire ecology in Australia, because careful observation of fire effects have been informing fire management for many thousands of years and scientific study of fire ecology has been going on for over a century, especially in the fields of forestry, evolutionary ecology, and land management. In this paper, I review some of the key questions of fire ecology identified in The Ecology of Fire (1995) for which I perceive there is a need for an expanded research effort and for better communication to politicians, policy makers, land managers, and the public at large. …

Young snakes are rarely seen in the field and little is known about their habits. mostly because they are too small for radio-telemetry (the primary method for Studying snake spatial ecology). However, the offspring or some larger species can be fitted with transmitters and we investigated the spatial ecology and habitat use of ten hatchling water pythons (Liasis fuscus: Pythonidae) in the floodplain of the Adelaide River, tropical Australia. Patterns of habitat use in the late wet season and during the dry season were similar to those of adults tracked in the same vicinity in an earlier study. Soon after …

The various enquiries that have followed these fire events, at least in Australia (e.g. the NSW Joint Select Committee on Bushfires 2002, the Victorian Government’s Inquiry into the 2002-2003 Victorian Bushfires – Esplin et al. 2003, the House of Representatives Select Committee Inquiry into the Recent Australian Bushfires – Nairn …
