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

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 ...

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 test of male infanticide as a reproductive tactic in a cichlid fish [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Infanticide and offspring cannibalism are taxonomically widespread phenomena. In some group-living species, a new dominant individual taking over a group can benefit from infanticide if doing so induces potential mates to become reproductively available ...

Predator cannibalism can shift prey community composition toward dominance by small prey species
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Cannibalism among predators is a key intraspecific interaction affecting their density and foraging behavior, eventually modifying the strength of predation on heterospecific prey.
