Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Background Cannibalism has been observed in a wide range of animal taxa and its importance in persistence and stability of populations has been documented. In anopheline malaria vectors the inter-instar cannibalism between fourth- and first-instar larvae

Optimal reproductive phenology under size‐dependent cannibalism
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Intra‐cohort cannibalism is an example of a size‐mediated priority effect. If early life stages cannibalize slightly smaller individuals, then parents face a trade‐off between breeding at the best time for larval growth or development and predation risk ...

The (De)Stabilizing effect of juvenile prey cannibalism in a stage-structured model
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2023 Cannibalism, or intraspecific predation, is the act of an organism consuming another organism of the same species. In predator-prey relationships, there is experimental evidence to support the existence of cannibalism among juvenile prey.

Isogroup Selection to Optimize Biocontrol Increases Cannibalism in Omnivorous (Zoophytophagous) Bugs
Insects, 2017 Zoophytophagous insects can substitute animals for plant resources when prey is scarce. Many arthropods feed on conspecifics to survive in these conditions.

Meal or mate: Exploring the evidence of sexual cannibalism among amphibians
Ecology and EvolutionActive forms of cannibalism that involve predation of live conspecifics occur widely among amphibians, most notably by tadpoles that feed on each other and adults that feed on juveniles.

Insects, 2020 Cannibalism in insects plays an important role in ecological relationships. Nonetheless, it has not been studied as extensively as in other arthropods groups (e.g., Arachnida).

Female Filial Cannibalism in the Redhead Goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus) in Captivity
DiversityFilial cannibalism is the consumption of one’s own viable progeny. It occurs in a range of taxa but is particularly well-documented in fish species. Since parental care in fishes is typically male-biased, it is usually assumed that filial cannibalism is ...

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 We revisit the persistence and stability property of a stage-structured prey–predator model with cannibalism and constant attacking rate. By using the differential inequality theory and Bendixson–Dulac criterion, we show that if the system without ...

On the (dis) advantages of cannibalism [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2005 Cannibalism is an interaction between individuals that can produce counter- intuitive effects at the population level. A striking effect is that a population may persist under food conditions such that the non-cannibalistic variant is doomed to go extinct. This so-called life boat mechanism has received considerable attention.
