Responses of functional groups of birds to fire regime attributes in mallee woodlands (A–D) and foothill forests (E–H). Significant responses are displayed to illustrate the key responses observed in each ecosystem. Lines are fitted generalized additive models. Line color indicates vegetation types within each ecosystem. In mallee woodlands: red = chenopod mallee, brown-green lines = Heathy mallee, yellow lines = Triodia mallee. In foothill forests: turquoise lines = Driest, blue lines = Dry, purple lines = Mesic. Shaded areas indicate 95% confidence intervals and lines with no shaded area are not significant. “Can/up” = canopy/upper-midstorey foragers, “Low-mid” = lower-midstorey foragers, “Ground” = ground foragers, “Hollow” = hollow nesters
