Abstract
While snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) exhibit a relatively regular population cycle of 9-10 years in much of their North American range, they experience large variations in cyclic amplitude. This study considers four hypotheses (weather, forest succession, plant defense, and predator hypotheses) that could explain this variation for sites within Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and British Columbia.
