Fuentes, R. e Aschcroft, J. (2024) “CANNIBALISM IN WHIP SPIDERS OF THE GENUS PHRYNUS SP. (ARACHNIDA: AMBLYPYGI) IN PANAMA : FIRST REPORT”, Mesoamericana, 26(2), p. 29–31. doi: 10.48204/j.mesoamericana.v26n2.a5977.
Intraguild predator-prey relationships have been widely documented in amblypygids except for cannibalism. This behavior, despite its few records, may be more frequent than known. We present the first case for Panama.
