Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Long-lived species typically do not have irruptive population cycles; it's usually short-lived species, such as some insects and small mammals, that exhibit these rapid and unpredictable fluctuations in population size. Long-lived species tend to have more stable population dynamics.
