Why is it not surprising that snowshoe hare populations are controlled by a combination of factors, food and predators (see fig. 14.16), and not by a single environmental factor?
Figure 14.16 The densities of snowshoe hares averaged from the peak in hare density through the period of declining density observed during the study. Hare densities are expressed relative to the densities on the control plots where no experimental manipulation was applied (data from Krebs et al. 1995, 2001)
