Welcome to my blog!

Red fox attacking an arctic fox.  The red fox is clearly superior.

The purpose of this blog is to raise awareness of the ways in which warming is impacting life in the tundra.  Over the years, the earth has been gradually warming.  This has set in motion various feedback loops that cause warming to increase at faster and faster rates.  The increase in temperature is rapidly changing interactions among species, which in the arctic has generally resulted in a decline of population growth.
This blog uses the arctic fox to demonstrate on of the ways in which this is happening.  We will see that as temperature increases, competition for food or other necessities often increase as species shift latitudinally.  In the case of the arctic fox, its larger and superior neighbor the red fox has begun to shift further north, competing for their food and forcing arctic foxes out of their dens.
