These two types of foxes never encounter one another, and the two populations of foxes are likely to continue to diverge from one another due to habitat isolation.
The restriction of reproduction between two populations (often two species that can interbreed) because each population inhabits a separate ecosystem is known as habitat isolation.
The two populations are technically in the same location, they just occupy distinct zones in that area, which distinguishes habitat isolation from other types of geographic isolation. They are divided by their behavioral preferences and adaptations rather than by physical limits like mountains.
