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.

Mitosis can drive cell cannibalism through entosis
eLife, 2017 Entosis is a form of epithelial cell cannibalism that is prevalent in human cancer, typically triggered by loss of matrix adhesion. Here, we report an alternative mechanism for entosis in human epithelial cells, driven by mitosis.
