Infographic illustrating a model of salmonid eco-evolutionary responses to environmental and human-induced changes. The diagram is divided into four main columns: Entities, Submodels, Observations, and Scenarios.

Entities include individuals like fish, redds (egg nests), and fry siblings, as well as spatial units like rivers, sea regions, weirs, and populations.

Submodels (center panel) represent a daily cycle of salmonid life processes, including reproduction, emergence, growth, survival, maturation, movement, and fishing, both in rivers and at sea. Arrows indicate migratory and developmental paths, with key processes labeled 1–10.

Observations detail population-level metrics such as abundance, sex ratio, allele frequency, and migration dates over time, along with individual-level traits like growth curves.

Scenarios at the bottom show the effects of selective fishing, climate change (with warming projections RCP 2.6 to RCP 8.5), and connectivity (e.g., dam passability) on salmonid populations.

A conceptual diagram showing the ecological factors influencing fish abundance. The diagram is composed of interconnected ovals and rectangles, with directional arrows indicating influence.
