Sex-specific cannibalism in the rotifer Asplanchna sieboldi

JJ Gilbert

In one clone, large-morphotype females rarely exhibit tactile feeding responses to their ingestible, male clonemates but readily attack small-morphotype female clonemates and males of another, taxonomically distinct, clone. In the latter clone, cannibal females lack such selectivity, but their males are well protected from capture by very large, lateral body-wall outgrowths.
