Pearl-Verhulst Logistic EquationK = Carrying capacity
dN/dt = rN [(K – N)/K]= rN {1– (N/K)} = rN – (r/K)N2
dN/dt = 0 when [(K – N)/K] = 0[(K – N)/K] = 0 when N = K

Sunspot Hypothesis (Sinclair et al. 1993. Am. Nat.)
10 year cycle embedded within 30-50 year periods
Maunder minimum: 1645-1715
Three periods of high sunspot maxima:
1751-1787 1838-1870 1948-1993
Canadian Government Hare Survey 1931-1948
Hare cycle synchronized across North America
Yukon: 5 km strip, tree growth rings (N = 368 trees)
One tree germinated in 1675 (>300 years old)
Hares prefer palatable shrubs, but will eat spruce
Leaving dark tree ring marks
