Abstract
SIMSPAR is a spatially-explicit, individual-based model designed as a management and evaluation tool for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus mirabilis), an endangered subspecies of seaside sparrow that lives exclusively in the southern Everglades. The model is designed to simulate how changes in hydrology across the nesting area of the sparrow is likely to affect the reproductive success and, therefore, the population viability of the Cape Sable sparrow. SIMSPAR has been developed at the University of Tennessee under the USGS's Across Trophic Level System Simulation (ATLSS) Program.
