Ultimately, the consequences of rapid positive and negative population fluctuations of butterflies would contribute to increased temporal and spatial fluctuations of species richness.
If coupled with parallel changes in overall natural mortality (as would be expected in association with fluctuations in prey abundance; e.g., Stige et al. 2010), the risk for a rapid population decline might then rapidly increase.
Animals tend to undergo wide population fluctuations in the tundra and polar barrens.
They also have enjoyed rapid population growth.
Population dynamics refer to intra- and inter-annual population fluctuations.
Cyclic population fluctuations were present in both species.
Global population trends have not been quantified, although there is evidence of population fluctuations.
"It is one that over the last several decades has seen rapid population growth, and a rapid expansion of the population into that urban-wildfire interface.
In deer mice, IgG antibody prevalence fluctuations were positively associated with population fluctuations.
(P16) A few participants described contingency plans for population fluctuations.
