Predatory cannibalism in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Hunting live prey is risky and thought to require specialized adaptations. Therefore, observations of predatory cannibalism in otherwise non-carnivorous animals raise questions about its function, adaptive significance and evolutionary potential. Here we document predatory cannibalism on larger conspecifics in Drosophila melanogaster larvae and address its evolutionary significance. We found th...
متن کاملCannibalism among size classes of larvae may be a substantial mortality component in tuna
Cannibalism among size classes may reduce starvation and improve survival of larval tuna in oligotrophic ocean areas, but it may also be a substantial mortality component depending on the availability of alternative prey. Here, we combine laboratory and field data on tuna larvae with a model of larval foraging and bioenergetics to explore the role of cannibalism in cohort development at differe...
متن کاملCannibalism of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua larvae and juveniles on first-week larvae
Cannibalism in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua is widespread under both field and culture conditions, but no studies have been conducted on the behavioural ontogeny of cannibalism in this species. We carried out an experiment to investigate the onset and ontogenetic changes in cannibalistic behaviour of Atlantic cod during early developmental stages. Cod larvae were separated into 4 size classes (6, ...
متن کاملComparison of Action Thresholds for Lepidopterous Larvae on Fresh- Market Cabbagel
A. M. SHELTON," M. K. SEARS,' J. A. WYMAN: AND T. C. QUICK4 ABSTRACT J. Econ.Entomol.76: 196-199 (1983) Five different action thresholds for control of Iepidopterous larvae on fresh-market cabbage were compared in Wisconsin and New York, and in Ontario, Canada, in 1981. An average of the three locations revealed that a threshold of one or more new feeding sites per head (Florida threshold) requ...
متن کاملAnt larvae as players in social conflict: relatedness and individual identity mediate cannibalism intensity.
Conflict arises among social organisms when individuals differ in their inclusive-fitness interests. Ant societies are excellent models for understanding how genetic relatedness mediates conflict intensity. However, although conflicts within colonies typically arise over offspring production, the role of larvae as actors in social conflict has received little attention. We develop and empirical...
