✦ Synopsis
A strict use of the annual renewal presupposes that predators and rodents live constantly together in large numbers with little outside interference and that the annual cycles have a high regularity in terms of weather and other living conditions. This is realized in the Arctic but perhaps not when a large part of the year is "lled with a lot of varied activity for the populations involved. This kind of di!erence may be one reason why clear periodicity seems to be tied to arctic conditions.

We consider a predator᎐prey system with one or two delays and a unique positive equilibrium E#. Its dynamics are studied in terms of the local stability of E# and of the description of the Hopf bifurcation that is proven to exist as one of Ž . the delays taken as a parameter crosses some critical va
We develop a method to estimate the expected time of survival of a predator population as a function of the size of the habitat island on which it lives and the dynamic parameters of the population and its prey. The model may be thought of either as a patch occupancy model for a structured populatio
