Invertebrates make up the vast majority of fauna species but are often overlooked in impact assessment and conservation response. The extent to which the 2019–2020 Australian megafires overlapped with the range of vertebrate species has been well documented; consequently, substantial resourcing has been directed towards their recovery. Here, we attempt to document the extent of overlap of these megafires with invertebrate species. In doing so, we seek to demonstrate that it is possible and worthwhile to assess the effect of a catastrophic event on a large number of poorly known species.

被忽视的原因：无脊椎动物和 2019-2020 年澳大利亚大火

无脊椎动物构成了绝大多数动物物种，但在影响评估和保护响应中经常被忽视。2019-2020 年澳大利亚特大火灾与脊椎动物物种范围重叠的程度已得到充分证明；因此，已将大量资源用于恢复它们。在这里，我们试图记录这些大火与无脊椎动物物种的重叠程度。在这样做的过程中，我们试图证明评估灾难性事件对大量鲜为人知的物种的影响是可能且值得的。
