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.

Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae). [PDF]
Pest Manag SciExtraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...

Sublethal exposure to diatomaceous earth increases net fecundity of flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) by inhibiting egg cannibalism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Population regulation results from an interplay of numerous intrinsic and external factors, and for many insects cannibalism is such a factor. This study confirms a previously-reported observation that sublethal exposure to the fossilized remains of ...

Determination of serum adenosine deaminase and xanthine oxidase activity in Kangal dogs with maternal cannibalism [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2017 Aim: Kangal dogs, known as guard dogs in many countries of the world, have been found to eat their own puppies during their first 24 h following birth, which is called as maternal cannibalism.

“Jungle law reigned among the prisoners”: the meaning of cannibalism in the testimonies of Nazi concentration camps’ survivors [PDF]
Heritage, Memory and Conflict, 2023 What do Holocaust survivors do when they refer to cannibalism in their testimonies? This piece argues that they do not merely describe what they have witnessed or heard of, but also ponder the boundaries of humanity.

Complexity, 2017 Cannibalism, the act of killing and consumption of conspecifics, is generally considered to be a stabilising process in ODE models of predator-prey systems. On the other hand, Sun et al.

Pond drying cues promote cannibalism in larval Anax junius dragonflies
, 2020 Global climate change is expected to shorten hydroperiods and accelerate drying of ephemeral freshwater habitats, a shift that is likely to increase intraspecific competition and cannibalism in the aquatic animals that rely on those habitats.
