Perturbation methods are applied to a differential equation predator-prey model to find the approximate amplitudes and period of limit cycle solutions. In the model the feeding rate per unit predator per unit prey decreases as the prey become scarce. The rigorous applicability of the perturbation te

We studied the effects of removal of breeding nomadic avian predators (the kestrel, Falco tinnunculus and Tengmalm's owl, Aegolius funereus) on small mammals (voles of the genera Microtus and Clethrionomys and the common shrew, Sorex araneus) during 1989-1992 in western Finland to find out if these
Fairly regular multiannual microtine rodent cycles are observed in boreal Fennoscandia. In the southern parts of Fennoscandia these multiannual cycles are not observed. It has been proposed that these cycles may be stabilized by generalist predation in the south. We show that if the half-saturation
