Description

This is one of the classic studies of predator-prey interactions, the 90-year data set is the number, in thousands, of lynx pelts purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company of Canada. While this is an indirect measure of predation, the assumption is that there is a direct relationship between the number of pelts collected and the number of hare and lynx in the wild.

Usage

Format

The format is: Time-Series [1:91] from 1845 to 1935: 30.1 45.1 49.1 39.5 21.2 ...

Note

The data are in units of one thousand. This data set pairs with Hare and is NOT the same as lynx.
