The herbivore-daisy relationship is an example of a predator-prey relationship, and these relationships are known to oscillate in population quite a bit
-
for: predator / prey oscillation
-
paraphrase
- As the predator eat a lot of the prey,
- they increase in number while
- the prey numbers go down.
- Then when there are not enough prey to feed all the predators,
- the predator number goes down too.
- With less predators
- the prey numbers go up.
- As prey numbers goes up,
- predator numbers can go up again.
- As the predator eat a lot of the prey,
- These population dynamics are expressed in the Lotka-Volterra equations
- What is curious here is that the oscillation in population doesn’t translate into more oscillation of the climate,
- instead it can translate into more stability of the climate
