astsa (version 2.4)

Lynx: Canadian Lynx

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 (HBC) 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.

If you are interested in the brutal story of HBC, see the video https://www.nfb.ca/film/other_side_of_the_ledger or read the article https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/the-untold-story-of-the-hudsons-bay-company.
