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 ...

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 ...

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.

Cannibalism as a life boat mechanism [PDF]
, 1988 Under certain conditions a cannibalistic population can survive when food for the adults is too scarce to support a non-cannibalistic population. Cannibalism can have this lifeboat effect if (i) the juveniles feed on a resource inaccessible to the adults;
