Cannibalism and Necrophagy Promote a Resource Loop and Benefit Larval Development in Insects of Temporary Waters
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The consumption of conspecific individuals by cannibalism (i.e., the killing and eating of conspecific individuals) and necrophagy (i.e., feeding on dead individuals of the same species) has been documented in several insect species. Selective advantages have been proposed to explain...
