Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a population of foxes in a snowy environment. If climate change reduces snowfall and more urban areas emerge, how might natural selection and speciation occur in this population?

💡 Hint: Think about how their environment is changing and what traits may be advantageous.
