He described an effect in six predator–prey models where increasing the food available to the prey caused the predator's population to destabilize. A common example is that if the food supply of a prey such as a rabbit is overabundant, its population will grow unbounded and cause the predator population (such as a lynx) to grow unsustainably ...
The Lilliput effect is an observed decrease in animal body size in genera that have survived a major extinction. [1] There are several hypotheses as to why these patterns appear in the fossil record, some of which are: [2] simple preferential survival of smaller animals, dwarfing of larger lineages, and
Lynx issiodorensis, sometimes called the Issoire lynx, is an extinct species of lynx that inhabited Europe during the late Pliocene to Pleistocene epochs, and may have originated in Africa during the late Pliocene. It is named after the town of Issoire where the first remains were found.

Extinction vortices are a class of models through which conservation biologists, geneticists and ecologists can understand the dynamics of and categorize extinctions in the context of their causes. This model shows the events that ultimately lead small populations to become increasingly vulnerable as they spiral toward extinction.
The Lynx (16-17) ended the Wings' three-game winning streak and improved to 5-0 when both Collier and McBride (21) score 20 points. Minnesota made up for being outscored 20-10 on second-chance ...
