Abstract:
... Through pyric herbivory (i.e., fire-induced grazing patterns), native grasslands were historically a spatially heterogeneous environment. It is hypothesized that the mosaic of habitats created by pyric herbivory supports a more diverse invertebrate community compared to modern range management. Patch-burn management, a pyric herbivory technique, is an application of prescribed fire and grazing whe ...

2. Arthropods and Fire: Previous Research Shaping Future Conservation

Subject:
Araneae; Coleoptera; Lepidoptera; Orthoptera; arthropod communities; arthropods; birds; grasslands; issues and policy; prescribed burning; researchers; taxonomy; Great Plains region
Abstract:
... Fire is a natural process in grasslands that maintains an open canopy and creates variable vegetative structure and composition over time. Although there is a wealth of knowledge on plant and avian responses to fire in the Great Plains, there are few generalizations for arthropods. We conducted a literature review to synthesize research on arthropod responses to fire in the Great Plains to offer m ...

Subject:
Coleoptera; community structure; dung beetles; feces; multivariate analysis; pitfall traps; prescribed burning; rangelands; spring; vegetation; vegetation structure; Great Plains region; Texas
Abstract:
... Rangeland dung beetles represent an important assemblage of insects for the Great Plains. In this study, we examine the effects of a postfire rangeland environment on a dung beetle assemblage in north-central Texas. We deployed baited pitfall traps to examine spring prescribed fire treatment, differences in vegetation visual obstruction, and dung density influence on dung beetle abundance and comm ...

Abstract:
... Soil fauna play critical roles in various ecosystem functions and services, but empirical data measuring their impact on dung pat decomposition and subsequent nutrient cycling into rangeland soils are limited. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of soil fauna, using dung beetle as an indicator, on dung decomposition and subsequent translocation of dung nutrients into grassland s ...
