Life is a web, with every strand connected to every other strand. For example, herds of caribou live in cold, Arctic locations.
Caribou hate mosquitoes. In the past few years, warmer temperatures in summer have allowed mosquito populations to explode. So the caribou spend a lot more energy swatting away the mosquitoes. All this swatting leaves the caribou less energy to find food and prepare for the next long winter. Female caribou are especially troubled because it takes so much energy to give birth and raise their young. http://www.nasa.gov/climatekids
