They are known as seven-transmembrane receptors because of the number of times (7 times) they travel through the cell membrane while interacting with G proteins.

Each GPCR is extremely specialized to a given signal, and humans alone have about 1,000 distinct GPCRs. GPCRs are made up of a single polypeptide that has been folded into a globular shape and encased in a cell's plasma membrane. The biggest family of receptors and membrane proteins in the human genome are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which have about 800 members, of which half are olfactory. Numerous endogenous signaling molecules can activate GPCRs, which are involved in various physiological processes.

As a result, we can state that the seven-transmembrane receptors are so named because they couple with G proteins and pass through the cell membrane seven times.

ladessa [460]
This scientific study revealed that predation is the dominant factor affecting prey population on cycling. Population cycles is the feature where populations rise and fall over a predictable period of time. For example there are some species where population numbers have reasonably predictable patterns of change. From the study depicted in the question; when snowshoe hares are scarce, many lynx leave their home range in search of food. An increased predation of the hare due to high populations of lynx and other predators increases the decline in the hare population.
