Dynamic behaviors of Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model incorporating predator cannibalism
Advances in Difference Equations, 2019 A Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model incorporating predator cannibalism is proposed and studied in this paper. The existence and stability of all possible equilibria of the system are investigated.

Parent–offspring cannibalism throughout the animal kingdom: a review of adaptive hypotheses
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022 Parents that kill and consume their offspring often appear to be acting against their own reproductive interests. Yet parent–offspring cannibalism is common and taxonomically widespread across the animal kingdom.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental & applied acarology, 2020 Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family are important biological control agents. Many species of this family are omnivores, i.e., besides on prey, they can feed on plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Cambridge Encyclopedia of Anthropology, 2015 A dataset of 73 variables was complied on 345 serial killers, 31 of whom who engaged in cannibalism. A distinction was made between those who engaged only in cannibalism, those who engaged in necrophilia, and those who engaged in both or neither. Those who engaged in both cannibalism and necrophilia were the most psychiatrically disturbed and deviant,

Cannibalism in cultured Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Percidae)—Implication of maternal influence, kinship, and sex ratio of progenies [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2015 Background. Intra cohort cannibalism is one of the main factors that affects the growth and survival of cultured fishes, especially in the larval and juvenile stages.

Antler cannibalism in reindeer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractPrion diseases constitute a class of invariably fatal and degenerative encephalopathies. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease among cervids, which is spreading and causing marked population declines in USA and Canada. The first outbreak of CWD in Europe was discovered in a reindeer population in Norway in 2016.
