Knowledge synthesis of Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow science

July 1, 2021

This report represents a literature review of science conducted on the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (Ammospiza maritima mirabilis, hereafter “CSSS” or “spar-row”). This information can be used as a foundation for the upcoming Species Status Assessment and for updating the CSSS Recovery Plan. This report focuses on areas of interest relative to CSSS management such as habitat, hydrology, fire, and population estimates. We include peer-reviewed scientific literature, synthesis reports, and some field reports. Many field reports to funding agencies and other documents exist beyond what is reviewed here; however, we include the most relevant documents relative to the focus of CSSS management. All documents reviewed are listed in the References section.
