To be an intra-guild predator or a cannibal: is prey quality decisive

2006-10-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Many cannibalistic species are also intra-guild predators. Such predators will often face the decision whether to consume a conspecific or a heterospecific prey from the same guild. This decision may depend on the relative quality and abundance of the prey but also on other factors such as relatedness by descent, prey-specific defence and the probability of the victim harbouring shared diseases. 2. Here, intra-...
