You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes

 * Under my articles general section it is indicated that it needs to be updated with newly available information. Here I will use my second sources update this section with more relevant information.
 * Another area in need of update in my article is the Species Migration and Invasive Species sections. This section needs recent events and newly available information. Here I will use my first source to add this new information.
 * A few animal species are equipped to adapt to changing environmental conditions, but the majority are not.
 * When the fall migration season comes around the effects of climate change can really be seen. Many animals begin to prepare for the winter months during this time. Warmer weather effects how plants bloom and how they expand into cooler locations which causes ecosystems and animals migration patterns to change.
 * A study from 2011 found that in the last century plants and wildlife have moved to higher elevations at a rate of 36 feet per decade, making room for invasive species to invade.
 * ARCTIC: Many different species of Arctic animals are affected by changing global temperatures. This can affect how they care and raise their young and how they search for food. Researchers have found that predators and pray respond differently to climate change causing a disruption of the equilibrium between the two.
 * Climate change has affected many different species of Arctic animals. Warm spring temperatures and cool fall temperatures act as cues telling animals when to migrate, mate, and find food. Unknown impacts can occur in these ecosystems and to the animals that live in them if these schedules are shifted by just a few days or weeks. Unfortunately changes in these seasonal timings have already begun to occur. These shifts change how they care and raise young and how they search for food. Researchers have found that predators and pray respond differently to climate change causing a disruption of the equilibrium between the two.
