Emperipolesis, entosis and cell cannibalism: Demystifying the cloud
There are intense published data in literature related to cell engulfment phenomena such as emperipolesis, entosis and cell cannibalism. All these are closely related phenomena with a very fine line of differences.

Artemia salina Toxicity Assay: Standardization in a 24‐Well Microplate
ABSTRACT Bioassays with Artemia sp. are widely used in aquatic, environmental, and human toxicology as an initial tool to investigate the toxicity of plant extracts, isolated compounds, drugs, and products of natural or synthetic origin. These assays allow for the estimation of the median lethal concentration (LC50) and guide subsequent studies in ...

Meal or mate: Exploring the evidence of sexual cannibalism among amphibians
Active 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.

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

Effects of Density and Food Availability on the Growth of Captive‐Reared Eastern Hellbenders
Our experiments demonstrate that food is the major factor limiting captive‐reared Hellbender growth and that increasing rearing density to the tested levels does not negatively impact growth. Implementing these changes may result in larger, more robust Hellbenders and increase the success of reintroduction programs.

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Abstract The forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government.

Female Filial Cannibalism in the Redhead Goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus) in Captivity
Filial 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 ...

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).

Sexual cannibalism and population viability
Some behaviours that typically increase fitness at the individual level may reduce population persistence, particularly in the face of environmental changes. Sexual cannibalism is an extreme mating behaviour which typically involves a male being devoured
