How might climate change help some species while hurting others? Are any species currently being helped or hurt by climate change?

Climate change impacts different species in various ways, some positively and some negatively. On one hand, climate change can benefit certain species by expanding their habitat range, increasing food availability, and altering competition favorably. For instance, the red fox has been expanding its range into the Arctic, taking resource opportunities from the native Arctic fox. On the other hand, climate change can harm species through habitat loss, by altering breeding patterns, and by increasing disease and parasite prevalence. An example of a negatively impacted species is the polar bear, which is losing its hunting grounds due to the rapid disappearance of Arctic sea ice. It's therefore imperative to continue monitoring climate change's effects on ecosystems to ensure biodiversity conservation.
