Abstract

Understanding how mammal species respond to planned burns can assist managers of protected areas to better implement fire regimes for mammal conservation. I investigated the response of three small mammal species (Rattus lutreola, Mastcomys fuscus and Antechinus minimus) to low severity, consecutive planned burns with different fire intervals (6-9 and 22 years) over 17 years, using live-trapping in montane moorland. Following the burns, vegetation density decreased by 71-83% and the small mammal species were largely absent for at least 2 years. Vegetation recovery to pre-burn levels was slower (7-10+ years versus 4--5 years) following burns with short fire intervals (6-9 years) than long fire intervals (22 years), and this was associated with a slower and reduced recovery for A. minimus but not for R. lutreola and M. fuscus. This study suggests that these species are resilient to small scale, low severity planned burns in montane moorlands on moderate productivity soils provided fire intervals are not too short (< 10 years). Further studies are required to augment these findings and to investigate small mammal responses in moorlands on less productive soils than those studied here, where recovery times are expected to occur over longer timeframes.

35. Sustaining Transmission in Different Host Species: The Emblematic Case of Sarcoptes scabiei

Abstract

Some pathogens sustain transmission in multiple different host species, but how this epidemiologically important feat is achieved remains enigmatic. Sarcoptes scabiei is among the most host generalist and successful of mammalian parasites. We synthesize pathogen and host traits that mediate sustained transmission and present cases illustrating three transmission mechanisms (direct, indirect, and combined). The pathogen traits that explain the success of S. scabiei include immune response modulation, on-host movement capacity, off-host seeking behaviors, and environmental persistence. Sociality and host density appear to be key for hosts in which direct transmission dominates, whereas in solitary hosts, the use of shared environments is important for indirect transmission. In social den-using species, combined direct and indirect transmission appears likely. Empirical research rarely considers the mechanisms enabling S. scabiei to become endemic in host species-more often focusing on outbreaks. Our review may illuminate parasites' adaptation strategies to sustain transmission through varied mechanisms across host species.
