Question

As it turns out, studies of snowshoe rabbit populations in areas where no lynxes are found show that the same fluctuations in population cycles. How can you explain this?​

Answer 1

This could be explained by other factors influencing the snowshoe rabbit population, such as predation by other animals or changes in food availability. Additionally, the population cycles of the snowshoe rabbit and lynx may be influenced by a common factor, such as changes in weather or disease. Another explanation could be that the lynx population is not entirely absent and there is still a low level of predation that is influencing the rabbit population.
