Redwing


Definition:

  • (n.) A European thrush (Turdus iliacus). Its under wing coverts are orange red. Called also redwinged thrush. (b) A North American passerine bird (Agelarius ph/niceus) of the family Icteridae.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Furthermore, redwing hepatic microsomes had marginal or no ability to N-hydroxylate PCMA, whereas rat hepatic microsomes N-hydroxylated PCMA at a higher rate than PCA.
  • (2) Redwing hepatic microsomes N-hydroxylated PCA slower than rat microsomes.
  • (3) Seasonal change in song system structures in male redwings is consistent with there being a relation between adult plasticity in anatomy and in behavior; the large seasonal change in these structures in females suggests large seasonal changes in the function of these nuclei.
  • (4) One day post-treatment, the LH pituitary content was significantly reduced in GnRH-A-treated redwings compared to saline-injected controls.
  • (5) • Large flocks of chaffinch with some bramblings in woodland, abundant redwing and fieldfare in hawthorn hedges, and rare waxwings appearing in unusually high numbers.
