what harm can come by eating each other?
It has been shown in some studies that the risk of encountering an infected victim increases when there is a higher cannibalism rate.

please tell me more about jaekelopterus It is a genus of predatory eurypterid, a group of extinct aquatic arthropods. is their species still alive? UNANSWERABLE where can they be found? It lived in non-marine aquatic environments. you mentioned that these were predators, what more can you tell me about them as predators? Fully grown "Jaekelopterus" would have been apex predators in their environments and likely preyed upon smaller arthropods (including resorting to cannibalism) and early vertebrates. you mean they ate each other, but what would be the benefit? UNANSWERABLE

Cannibalism [SEP] Diseases transmitted through cannibalism
Cannibalism can potentially reduce the prevalence of parasites in the population by decreasing the number of susceptible hosts and indirectly killing the parasite in the host. It has been shown in some studies that the risk of encountering an infected victim increases when there is a higher cannibalism rate, though this risk drops as the number of available hosts decreases. However, this is only the case if the risk of disease transmission is low. Cannibalism is an ineffective method of disease spread as cannibalism in the animal kingdom is normally a one-on-one interaction, and the spread of disease requires group cannibalism; thereby it is rare for a disease to have evolved to rely solely on cannibalism to spread.
