Assessing the calorific significance of episodes of human cannibalism in the Palaeolithic

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Episodes of Palaeolithic cannibalism have frequently been defined as ‘nutritional’ in nature, but with little empirical evidence to assess their dietary significance.

Refining Zooplankton Diet Composition Studies Over Short and Long Time Scales by Combining 18S Metabarcoding With Fatty Acid Analyses

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding diet composition is essential for unravelling trophic interactions in aquatic ecosystems. DNA metabarcoding, utilising various variable regions of the 18S rRNA gene, is increasingly employed to investigate zooplankton diet composition.

Chewing Over In Vitro Meat: Animal Ethics, Cannibalism and Social Progress

open access: yes, 2016
Despite its potential for radically reducing the harm inflicted on nonhuman animals in the pursuit of food, there are a number of objections grounded in animal ethics to the development of in vitro meat.

Effect of dietary l-tryptophan on cannibalism, survival and growth in pikeperch Sander lucioperca (L.) post-larvae

open access: yesAquaculture International, 2016
The effect of supplemented commercial diets with crystalline l-tryptophan (TRP—5, 10 and 20 g TRP kg−1) on cannibalism, survival and growth parameters of pikeperch post-larvae (Sander lucioperca) was evaluated.

Quantifying functionally equivalent species and ecological network dissimilarity with optimal transport distances

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecological networks, there is not yet an approach that can (1) quantify dissimilarity in the global structure of ecological networks that range from ...

A Parasite Not a Cannibal? How the State and Capital Protect Accumulation Amid Devastation

open access: yesAntipode, EarlyView.
Abstract Nancy Fraser's recent book, Cannibal Capitalism, breathes new life into the eco‐Marxist concept of the ecological contradiction, arguing capitalism destroys its own ecological conditions of possibility like a serpent eating its own tail. Fraser's thesis appears to be playing out in British Columbia forests, where industry is closing mills and ...

The functions of the logical mirror operator in the processing of organ transplantation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychotherapy, EarlyView.
Abstract Organ transplantation is a complex psychodynamic process. Previous psychoanalytic research has mainly dealt with the psychological integration of the new organ and the conscious and unconscious relationship of the recipient to the transplanted organ and the donor. Some works have also explored organ transplantation from a Lacanian perspective,

Cannibalism and Performance Evaluation of Hybrids between Clarias batrachus and Clarias gariepinus

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Fisheries, 2016
Cannibalism is an important characteristic of African catfish that significantly reduces the number of stocked fish at harvest. This study evaluates the effect of reciprocal hybridization of Clarias batrachus and Clarias gariepinus on cannibalism and ...

Direct Evidence for Cannibalistic Necrophagy as a Way of Nitrogen Recycling in Ants [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Adequate nitrogen sources are essential for the development and reproduction of most animals. In eusocial insects such as termites and ants, some observations suggest that the protein needs of growing larvae may be met by consuming the corpses of nestmates—a behavior that remains controversial in ants and is primarily supported by indirect evidence ...
