Field observations of potential cannibalism among tadpoles of the Trinidad stream frog Mannophryne trinitatis (Anura: Aromobatidae)
Abstract
On 6 August 2018 at 1810h, RJA and NFA observed seven to eight tadpoles of Mannophryne trinitatis consuming a single conspecific individual. We were unable to determine if the individuals were scavenging on an already dead conspecific, or whether this was a case of intraspecific predation, or cannibilism as defined by Fox (1975).
