Cardiovascular diseases, a major health concern in industrialized countries [ 1 2 3 4 ] , include vasculopathies such as atherosclerosis [ 5 ] and autoimmune vascular diseases such as lupus [ 6 ] , graft versus host disease [ 7 ] , and systemic sclerosis [ 8 ] .

Previously, we identified correlations between large-scale variation in winter climate, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) [ 9 ] , and: predation efficiency of wolves ( Canis lupus ), mortality of old moose ( Alces alces ), and growth dynamics of balsam fir ( Abies balsamea ) on Isle Royale [ 6 ] . Additionally, we have documented influences of the NAO, wolf predation, and density dependence on the intrinsic rate of increase in the moose population on Isle Royale [ 10 ] . Hence, the current analysis was motivated by the results of these earlier attempts to dissect the relative contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic processes to the dynamics of this community, as well as by a more general interest in developing a community-level model of climatic effects at and among multiple trophic levels that may subsequently contribute to our understanding of the implications of climatic change for community stability.
