From individuals to population cycles: the role of extrinsic and intrinsic factors in rodent populations
2016
Ecology
Rodent population cycles have fascinated scientists for a long time. Among various hypotheses, an interaction of an extrinsic factor (predation) with intrinsic factors (e.g., sociality and dispersal) was suggested to lead to the generation of population cycles.
