The classic examples of populations that cycle, including predator-prey
interactions, and some host-parasite interactions, all involve animals.
Are there similar examples of cycles in plant populations? Certainly
lots of variation in abundance, such as in population size of desert
annuals responding to precipitation, but what about regular (cyclic)
variation?
