Analyse The Relationship Between Rabbits And Lynx

(a) The rabbits and lynx relationship in Fig. 4.1 is an example of a predator-prey relationship in which the rabbits are the prey and the lynx are the predator eating the prey. The relationship shown in the figure shows that as the rabbit population numbers begin to rise, the lynx’s numbers fallow the same pattern but to a lesser extent and slightly behind the prey. Once the lynx’s population increases to the point in which it is eating all of the prey available to them and the rabbit’s population declines, the lynx’s number soon also decline because their large numbers can no longer be supported with the lack of rabbits.
At first, the relationship in the figure between the rabbits and the lynx is larger in fluctuation but over time slowly
