Intraspecific predation (=cannibalism) has been widely documented within numerous animal populations (Elgar and Crespi, 1992). Several studies have explored possible selective forces behind the existence of cannibalism, including reduction in competition, enhanced reproductive success, and better nutrition (Fox, 1975; Polis, 1981; Meffe and Crump, 1987; Elgar and Crespi, 1992). In amphibians, several studies have documented the occurrence of and mechanisms sur-
