What's the difference between chickadee and chickaree?
Chickadee
Definition:
(n.) A small bird, the blackcap titmouse (Parus atricapillus), of North America; -- named from its note.
Example Sentences:
(1) A significant counter-example is now demonstrated in the production of a common vocalization by the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricapillus), in which the two acoustic sources interact in a nonlinear fashion.
(2) The duration of detectable neutralizing antibody in these birds was found to be ephemeral in some species (e.g., black-capped chickadees) and extremely longlasting in others (e.g., gray catbirds, swamp sparrows).
(3) For 279 color marked black-capped chickadees, we calculated the cumulative mortality rate during 12 wk following swabbing.
(4) Many things, in Thoreau's liberated state, are worth the while to see - the feeding manners of chickadees, and the trickles of spring thaw along the railroad cut, "resembling, as you look down on them, the laciniated lobed and imbricated thalluses of some lichens".
(5) Results from the third session suggested that chickadees distinguished normal song from any of the altered songs.
(6) The chickadee produces a sound with multiple frequency components that superficially resemble harmonics.
(7) The nurse cells from chickadee egg chambers that lack ovary-specific profilin fail to synthesize cytoplasmic actin networks correctly.
(8) A significant counterexample is demonstrated here in the production of a common vocalization by the black-capped chickadee (Parus atricapillus), in which the 2 acoustic sources of the syrinx interact in a nonlinear fashion.
(9) Three families of North American passerines--chickadees, nuthatches and jays--store food.
(10) We have cloned the chickadee gene and found that cDNA clones encode a protein 40% identical to yeast and Acanthamoeba profilin.
(11) Results from the first session suggest that chickadees distinguished single fees and three-note songs from normal song, single fees from single bees, and two-note songs from three-note songs.
(12) The prevalence of bacteria did not differ between male and female black-capped chickadees, Parus atricapillus.
(13) chickadee is one of a small group of genes whose mutant phenotype includes a disruption of this nurse cell cytoplasm transport.
(14) The internal representation of conspecific song in the chickadee thus distinguishes between fee and bee notes, contains information about note order, and is sensitive to note number.
(15) In addition, the nurse cell nuclei in chickadee egg chambers become displaced and often partially stretched through the channels leading into the oocyte, blocking the flow of cytoplasm.
(16) Captive black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus) were presented with normal and altered versions of their species-specific "fee bee" song, to determine how note type, number, and sequence affect recognition.
Chickaree
Definition:
(n.) The American red squirrel (Sciurus Hudsonius); -- so called from its cry.
