Can Parasites Synchronise the Population Fluctuations of Sympatric
this paper we examine the hypothesis that shared parasites among sympatric populations of different host species may operate as a local synchronising factor for host population densities. The `parasite hypothesis' can only be a feasible explanation for locally synchronized population cycles amo...
