What's the difference between pavonine and peafowl?
Pavonine
Definition:

(a.) Characteristic of a peacock; resembling the tail of a peacock, as in colors; iridescent.
Example Sentences:
(1) If that turns you off, it's easy to dismiss Revolution as little more than a narcissism trip – a pavonine linguistic display with a deficit of real substance.
Peafowl
Definition:
(n.) The peacock or peahen; any species of Pavo.
Example Sentences:
(1) The deaths of peafowls and a cockatoo were respectively traced to insecticide and lead toxicities.
(2) Brusatte said their function was a mystery, but they might have been used in colourful sexual displays, just as peacocks parade their tail feathers to court peafowls.
(3) Multilocus profiles were investigated in five different species of Galliformes (ring-necked pheasant Phasianus colchicus, Indian peafowl Pavo cristatus, Japanese quail Coturnix coturnix japonica, domestic chicken Gallus gallus, and red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus) using two human multilocus probes (33.6 and 33.15) in combination with each of four restriction enzymes (AluI, DdeI, HaeIII or HinfI).
(4) Among semidomestic species, ducks, quail, chukars, pheasants, peafowl, pigeons, and doves were found to be infected.
(5) The electrophoretic properties of the peafowl isoenzymes are unusual in that the isoenzyme from heart tissue can be either more or less anodic than that of muscle, depending on the pH.
(6) The phylogenetic tree constructured by the comparison of amino acid sequences of phasianoid birds lysozymes revealed a minimum genetic distance between these pheasants and the turkey-peafowl group.
(7) Further studies on the distribution of sulfated sugar nucleotides in egg white of various birds (chicken, quail, pheasant, peafowl, turkey, goose, and duck) demonstrate that each species has a characteristic composition, differing from one another regarding the relative amounts of 4-sulfated, 6-sulfated, and 4,6-bissulfated derivatives of uridine diphosphate N-acetylgalactosamine.
(8) There are no field records of this association outside of Africa, where the parasite, herein reported from another introduced and domesticated bird (the common peafowl, Pavo cristatus Linnaeus), was recently listed from 2 native Phasianidae of the genus Francolinus.
(9) Treated peafowl could strut normally but could not cross a 1.3-meter fence.
(10) The element was detected in DNA from different chickens and in peafowl, but not in quail, pheasant, or turkey.
(11) The Mendelian inheritance and independent segregation of the fragments detected using AluI was investigated in three species (ring-necked pheasant, Indian peafowl and red grouse).
(12) This library was screened using two multilocus hypervariable probes, 33.6 and 33.15 and also, in a "probe-walking" approach, with five of the peafowl minisatellites initially isolated.
(13) Susceptibility to infectious laryngotracheitis virus was studied in peafowl (Pavo cristatus), various species of pheasant (Phasianus colchicus, Lophura swinhoeii, Lophophorus impejanus), guinea-fowl (Numida meleagris), canaries (Serinus canaria), budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnic japonica).
(14) Peafowl, like other vertebrates, contain multiple forms of lactate dehydrogenase.
(15) We report here for the first time the large-scale isolation of hypervariable minisatellite DNA sequences from a non-human species, the Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus).
(16) Only peafowl and pheasants were found to be susceptible, pheasants responding more strongly than chickens to ocular vaccination and intratracheal inoculation.
