Intraspecific predation is taxonomically widespread, but few species routinely prey on conspecifics. This is surprising as conspecifics could be a valuable resource for animals limited by food. A potential cost of cannibalism that has been largely unexplored is that it may enhance the risk of acquir
The appearance of selectivity in the mutual adhesiveness of cells in the vertebrate embryo has been mentioned previously as one of the forces which may be responsible for neurulation. We report here observations made in uiuo and on sections of fixed amphibian larvae, on which lateral and medial part
