Filial Cannibalism Leads to Chronic Nest Failure of Eastern Hellbender Salamanders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)

American Naturalist, 2023
In species that provide parental care, parents will sometimes cannibalize their own young (i.e., filial cannibalism). Here, we quantified the frequency of whole-clutch filial cannibalism in a species of giant salamander (eastern hellbender ...

Pathways to the density-dependent expression of cannibalism, and consequences for regulated population dynamics.

Ecology, 2022

Evolution of cannibalism: referring to costs of cannibalism

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004
A rational explanation for cannibalism is that it would be favored under conditions of crowding of conspecific individuals and/or low availability of alternative prey with the fear of starvation, so as to maximize individual fitness. Cannibalism has, however, not evolved and is not maintained by a simple individual optimization, while it has evolved ...

Influence of crate size, oviposition time, number of adults and cannibalism on the reproduction of Tenebrio molitor

Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, 2019
In an industrialised mealworm farm it is important to maximise the production and to know the number of mealworms in each container as early as possible in a fast and reliable way. Two experiments were performed.

KURU AND CANNIBALISM

The Lancet, 1968
Abstract Evaluation of the available evidence supports the hypothesis that cannibalism of kuru victims was responsible for the epidemic spread of kuru through the Fore and their immediate neighbours with whom they intermarry. Clinical disease ensues 4-20 years after ingestion of poorly cooked tissues containing the transmissible agent.

Cannibalism in the Neolithic

Science, 1986
Cannibalism is a provocative interpretation put forth repeatedly for practices at various prehistoric sites, yet it has been so poorly supported by objective evidence that later, more critical reviews almost invariably reject the proposal. The basic data essential to a rigorous assessment of a cannibalism hypothesis include precise contextual ...
