The correct answer is that the population of foxes will also decrease in size.

The population of the fox is majorly dependent on the population of mice as the source of their food, and due to a fatal disease infecting the mice population, the population of the fox who majorly consumes mice would also get infected with the same deadly disease.

This condition will eventually result in declining of fox population due to their over-dependence on mice as the source of food.

noname [10]
If there is no reason to change (constant climate), then change won't occur. For example, a desert is basically always dry and hot with sand and few clouds. If a creature is fit for the climate, it will continue to exist until a severe enough climate change. For a real world example, in pre-industrial Europe, the birch trees were white. This permitted white moths to survive and not get eaten by the owls that hunt them, until the industrial revolution. Ash got on the birch trees, changing the color of the trees to a darker black. The white moths stood out, and therefore got eaten, permitting the black variant of the moths to thrive, where they were close to complete eradication before the revolution.
