The phrase "tick up" is correct and is commonly used in written English.
It is usually used to refer to an increase in something, often an increase in speed or intensity. For example, "Sales have started to tick up as new customers come in."
(from ludwig.guru)

ブナの豊作周期が2年だとすると来年は豊作だから餌の観点からは里に降りてくる
可能性は低くなるけど,繁殖に有利で頭数が増えているとすると縄張り闘いに負けて
里に降りてくる可能性が高くなるので,なかなかに予測しにくい状況ですね。
