He says they're finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. That's a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares.
The bobcat/hare population cycle is something I learned about at a very early age in Michigan. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 years old when I learned it.
Its common knowledge, when hare numbers are high, bobcat numbers rise, when bobcat numbers rise, hare numbers fall followed by falling bobcat numbers.
