Resource competition explains rare cannibalism in the wild in livebearing fishes
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Cannibalism, the act of preying on and consuming a conspecific, is taxonomically widespread, and putatively important in the wild, particularly in teleost fishes.

A biological invasion reduces rates of cannibalism by Japanese toad tadpoles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Biological invasions can favour rapid changes in intraspecific competitive mechanisms such as cannibalism by imposing novel evolutionary pressures. For example, cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles are highly cannibalistic on eggs and hatchlings in their

Ethological, Clinical, and Neurobiological Studies on Cannibalism in Black-Necked Pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and Correction of Behavioral Disorders by Applying Nutritional Supplements [PDF]
AnimalsCannibalism in Black-necked pheasants is a problem in aviary rearing, and an effective solution is still lacking. We performed the present study to investigate the potential of using tryptophan or silymarin to suppress cannibalism. The following types of

Characterization of cannibalism in early paralarvae of Patagonian red octopus, Enteroctopus megalocyathus (Gould, 1852), grown in a controlled environment [PDF]
Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2021 In the experimental mariculture of Patagonian red octopus, Enteroctopus megalocyathus, paralarvae rearing showed the highest mortalities. Part of this mortality has been attributed to cannibalism, so we studied the joint effect of paralarvae density and ...

Evaluation of the Effect of Ecological Factors on Cannibalism in Pelophylax bedriagae (Pallas, 1771) (Amphibia: Anura) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2023 Marsh frog, Pelophylax bedriagae tadpoles habituate in temporary wetlands where intraspecific aggression has been observed. In this study, we examined the independent and interactive effects of predator cues, water level and density on head width size ...

Non-Random Sibling Cannibalism in the Marine Gastropod Crepidula coquimbensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sibling cannibalism is commonly observed in marine species. For instance, intrabrood cannibalism has been documented in marine gastropods with direct development, suggesting a relationship between embryo behavior and the evolution of life history ...
