Paper doi abstract bibtex The striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) is a rare, pond-breeding salamander species threatened by land-use change and recurrent drought in southern Georgia and northern Florida. At Fort Stewart, GA, this species must be successfully managed to ensure long-term population viability. Because little is known about striped newt ecology, it is unclear how to best focus field research to support future land-management initiatives. The authors demonstrate the utility of an agent-based simulation model, developed using NetLogo (http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/), to shed light on striped newt population dynamics that can guide new field studies. The authors model striped newt population dynamics around clusters of temporary breeding ponds at Fort Stewart. In the absence of significant quantitative data, the model enables users to specify and test central but poorly understood dimensions of newt ecology and landscape hydrology. The authors hypothesized that rainfall amounts would be a significant variable affecting newt viability, with reduced rainfall having negative impacts on metapopulations. Simulations tested the effects of changing monthly precipitation rates and percentages of forest canopy cover. The results indicated that rainfall is in fact a significant variable, but percentage of canopy cover is not.
