Many Species Exhibit Population Cycles with Peaks at Regular Intervals

question 67

Essay

Many species exhibit population cycles with peaks at regular intervals, such as peaks in population size that occur every 6 years. Explain why is it not likely that environmental variation is the underlying cause of these regular cycles. As part of your explanation, include a description of expected differences between changes in population size due to environmental variation and changes in population size due to density-dependent population regulation.
