Interactions between adult and larval bluegill sunfish: positive and negative effectsCompetition Larvae Lepomis Cannibalism PredationAdult fish may affect the growth and survival of conspecific larvae through a variety of pathways, including negative interactions via competition for shared limiting resources ...
Odonate larvae are generalist predators that interact aggressively towards conspecifics or heterospecifics, leading to high rates of cannibalism [74–76]. Hatching from heavier eggs, resulting in larger larvae may thus be more advantageous in this (geographically heterogeneous [77]) competitive ...
Stacks of willow twigs (Salix) and macrophytes (roots ofNuphar luteaand 'seedlings' ofChara globularis) were introduced into the lake as spawning grounds and refuges for the pike against cannibalism and as shelter for the zooplankton. The effects of this food web manipulation on the light ...
