VASQUEZ-CRUZ, Victor  y  REYNOSO-MARTINEZ, Arleth. Predation by larva of water beetle (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) and cannibalism in Lithobates Berlandieri (Anura: Ranidae) in Huatusco, Veracruz, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2018, vol.34, e3412160. ISSN 2448-8445.  https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2018.3412160.

We documented for the first time, a depredatory event along with cannibalism, where two tadpoles of Lithobates berlandieri approached to the body of a tadpole while being predated by the larva of dytiscid and fed on it. This case of cannibalism suggest a competitive response.
