TL;DR: In this article , the authors estimate that the 2019-2020 Australian megafires caused, or contributed to, population declines that make 70-82 species eligible for listing as threatened; and another 21-27 taxa eligible for uplisting.

TL;DR: Using IUCN criteria and methods, this paper reassessed the conservation status of all 243 Australian frog species and identified key threats and associated potential management actions, and subsequently scored the relative value, feasibility and current levels of implementation of all management and research actions for threatened and Data Deficient species.

TL;DR: This paper developed assessment frameworks to screen fire-affected species based on their pre-fire conservation status, the proportion of their distribution overlapping with fires, and their behavioral/ecological traits relating to fire vulnerability.
