Furthermore, homozygous offspring are more likely to be produced by genetically similar pairs that may invest less in chick rearing, thus reinforcing the deleterious effects of homozygosity on chick growth and survival.

If 2008 was the year that Hollywood got excited by the female-driven event movie, thanks to Mamma Mia! and Sex and the City, 2009 has been more about the steady commercial dependability of less eventful chick flicks.
Malnourished plus hypoxia chicks weighed less than malnourished chicks alone (P <.05).
Malnourished chicks at day 15 and at hatch (63.42% ± 4.28%; P <.05) weighed less than control chicks, as did malnourished plus hypoxia chicks (59.74% ± 3.41%; P <.001).
Entertainment media almost exclusively tell stories about men's lives, and on the rare occasion they tell stories about women's lives, these stories typically revolve around romance and "getting a man," and are accorded less importance as "chick flicks".
During periods of food supplementation the proportion of supplemented chicks that begged for the first meal delivered by one of their parents each day was less than unsupplemented chicks (repeated-measures ANOVA, interaction between treatment group and supplementation stage, F2,18 = 22.61, partial η2 = 0.715, P<0.001; Fig. 4b).
As the cuisine became less narrow -- chicks and ducks and geese better scurry -- the name Fish became confining and misleading.
Four African penguin chicks, less than three weeks old, were also rescued along with their parents.
In the breeding season birds are forced to spend more time in the cave as chicks less than 250 g in weight are attended for 84% of the time [30].
