Cannibalism by the invasive invertebrate zooplanktivore Bythotrephes cederströmii Schödler, 1863 (Cladocera: Cercopagidae)
Cannibalism (i.e., intraspecific predation) affects the population dynamics of many invertebrate species. Cannibalism by the predatory cladoceran Bytho...

Preferential cannibalism as a key stabilizing mechanism of intraguild predation systems with trophic polymorphic predators
Theory predicts intraguild predation (IGP) to be unstable despite its ubiquity in nature, prompting exploration of stabilizing mechanisms of IGP. One...

Role of relatedness, food quality and hunger on the avoidance of kin-cannibalism in higher instar of coccinellids
The study examined the kin-recognition ability in the third and fourth instars of two predatory ladybirds, Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) and Menochilus...

Larval cannibalism in Phyllobates poison frogs
Cannibalistic behaviour between tadpoles of dendrobatoid poison frogs has been observed in several species with complex parental care dynamics,...

Record of thanatology and cannibalism in drills (Mandrillus leucophaeus)
Comparative thanatology includes the scientific study of death in non-human animals, which involves emotional, social, and exploratory responses of...

A report of stillbirth and subsequent maternal cannibalism observed in a free-ranging group of Japanese macaques at Awajishima, Japan
How primate mothers interact with their dead infants has attracted much attention from primatologists. In particular, the care given to infant...

Interspecific variability of the external female genital mutilation rate and its relationship with female aggression and sexual cannibalism in Cyclosa spiders
External female genital mutilation (EFGM) is the strategy employed by male spiders to ensure paternity during sexual conflict over female remating....

Influence of food quantity, larval density and size of rearing container on intra-instar cannibalism in fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
The rearing of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda larvae in cohorts is usually associated with high levels of cannibalism-induced mortalities...
-
Plant induced defenses that promote cannibalism reduce herbivory as effectively as highly pathogenic herbivore pathogens
Plant induced defenses may benefit plants by increasing cannibalism among insect herbivores. However, the general efficacy of plant defenses that...

Feeding Spodoptera exigua larvae with gut-derived Escherichia sp. increases larval juvenile hormone levels inhibiting cannibalism
Feed quality influences insect cannibalistic behavior and gut microbial communities. In the present study, Spodoptera exigua larvae were fed six...

Social context during ontogeny affects cannibalism and kin recognition of the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus at different life stages
Cannibalism is commonly found among phytoseiids at almost all mobile life stages. The avoidance of kin cannibalism in the presence of non-kin has...

Cannibalism in common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
We report two separate observations of adult male common kestrel ( Falco tinnunculus ) killing and feeding upon second-year (SY) conspecifics in...
-
Cannibalism and intraguild predation involved in the intra- and inter-specific interactions of the invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, and lepidopteran maize stemborers
Cannibalism and intraguild predation can play important roles in determining spread and survival or death of organisms which share the same resource....

Effect of stocking density on growth, survival and cannibalism of juvenile pikeperch, Sander lucioperca (L.), in a recirculating aquaculture system
The effect of stocking density on the rearing performance of pikeperch juveniles was studied. Three separate experiments (I, II and III) were...

Relationship between body size and habitat heterogeneity on cannibalism and intraguild predation in scorpions
Body size and habitat complexity are important regulatory factors in predator–prey dynamics. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of...

Female-committed infanticide followed by juvenile-enacted cannibalism in wild white-faced capuchins
On 5 February 2021, we observed the first instance of female-committed infanticide followed by cannibalism in a long-studied (> 35 years) population...

Pike Cannibalism, Paratenic Hosts, and Trematode Life Span as Factors Influencing the Distribution of Azygia lucii in the Definitive Host Population
AbstractThe ratio of the body length of trematodes Azygia lucii and the body length of pikes in the population of the Rybinsk Reservoir has been...

Effects of intraguild predation and cannibalism in two generalist phytoseiid species on prey density of the pink citrus rust mite in the presence of high-quality food
Intraguild predation (IGP) and cannibalism influence the effectiveness of biological control with generalist predators. In Japanese citrus orchards,...

Conspecific neighbors and kinship influence egg cannibalism in the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens)
BackgroundChrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is an illustrious predator that performs cannibalism upon facing small and...

Effect of size grading on growth, survival, and cannibalism in larval and juvenile pike, Esox lucius (L.), reared in recirculating systems
The effect of size grading on rearing effectiveness in pike larvae and juvenile was evaluated. Three separate experiments (I, II, and III) were...
