| Description: | Technical report Abstract: The TernCOLONY simulation model is an individual-based model of Least Tern reproduction that was developed to better understand how reservoir operations (and other management activities) affect Least Tern breeding populations on large rivers. This document provides practical guidance for those wishing to implement this model in a new region. Specifically, this document provides guidance concerning how to prepare the tabular inputs that are necessary to import required site-specific data on habitat, flows, and bird populations into the relational database that manages TernCOLONY’s inputs and outputs. This document is a technical, step-by step guide to fulfilling this basic objective. For more information on the model itself, please visit the model’s website at http://www.leasttern.org. |
