SDSim: A generalized user friendly web ABM system to simulate spatiotemporal distribution of species under environmental scenarios

Abstract This paper presents the Agent-Based Modelling System of spatial distribution of species SDSim. SDSim is an agent-based modelling system designed to simulate spatial distribution of species and populations for conservation and management purposes. SDSim gives to modellers the ability to simulate movements and colonization patterns of species given locations under study and a set of eco-geographical variables in which species depends on.
