SIBLING RIVALRY [1 record]

Record 1 2000-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Birds
  • Animal Behaviour
CONT

This sibling rivalry is a function of the availability of food, which is limited in some years, and asynchronous hatching; the first-born young are larger and stronger.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Oiseaux
  • Comportement animal
CONT

Cette rivalité dans la fratrie est due à la quantité de nourriture, restreinte certaines années et au fait que l'éclosion n'est pas simultanée; les héronneaux nés en premier sont plus gros et plus forts.
