Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism
PLoS Biology, 2019 Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation.

Effects of resource-dependent cannibalism on population size distribution and individual life history in a case-bearing caddisfly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Resource availability often determines the intensity of cannibalism, which has a considerable effect on population size distribution and individual life history. Larvae of the caddisfly Psilotreta kisoensis build portable cases from sedimentary sands and

Growth, cannibalism, and survival relations in larvae of European catfish, Silurus glanis (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Siluridae)—attempts to mitigate sibling cannibalism [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2014 Background. Under culture conditions, intra-cohort cannibalism is one of the main factors that affects the growth and survival of fishes, especially during the early life stages of carnivorous species.
