The secret lives of cannibals: Modelling density-dependent processes that regulate population dynamics in Chaoborus crystallinus

•An individual-based population model was developed to test the significance of cannibalism in population dynamics of Chaoborus crystallinus.•The model was parameterised mainly based on laboratory experiments, and tested against independent semi-field observations.•The model predictions are in good...
