Abstract: The population numbers of mice, voles and lemmings can vary greatly, and often run in cycles. Study of such cycles has the object of understanding the dynamics and regulation of natural populations, and requires data in long time series. One such data set has now come to international attention — it has been quietly accumulating since the 1920s and concerns population cycles of the voles which inhabit Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan.
