Population persistence in the face of climate change and competition: A battle on two fronts

Using this model we simulate a hypothetical population of native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus experiencing competition from invasive brook trout S. fontinalis as their river habitat warms due to climate change. Based on current climate projections, we find that bull trout are likely to disappear from the study area by 2080, with brook trout expanding their range in the absence of competition.
