Abstract: Animal populations might cycle because they are linked to the population of a predator or prey species, or because their reproduction has become synchronized, so that crowded generations have few offspring, which have many offspring, and so on. Work with the water fleaDaphniaand its algal prey shows what ecological factors drive and damp the population cycles in these species.
