Conspecific:
Finally, many animals maintain specific territories, within which they are intolerant to the presence of conspecifics (i.e., members of the same species). According to Polis, crowding increases the frequency with which individuals violate the space of others. By reducing overcrowded conditions, cannibalism can serve to decrease the frequency of territory violations. [“The Case for Cannibalism,” Bill Schutt, Discover (April 2017, paywall)]
