Why when lemming populations decline do populations of Arctic foxes also decrease?

One of the Arctic Foxes' main sources of food is the Lemming. When there are abundant lemmings the Fox has food to raise large litters and the population of Foxes increases. Similarly the numbers of Foxes that can be fed decreases when the lemming population declines because there is less food for the Foxes.
Basically the population of any animal is controlled by its food supply.

Where is the darkest place on earth?
Not "Lake Vostok, Antarctica" cos that's under 4 km of ice. You might as well say "the middle of the Earth", or "in the upper atmostphere". A more sensible answer would be somewhere on the arctic or antarctic ice sheets as far away from the few populations that there are. Given that said populations would be so far over the horizon anyway you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
