siblicide1980

1980 Pacific Seabird Group Bull. Winter 55 (title of abstract) Siblicide, the mechanism of brood reduction in black-legged kittiwakes.

1984 Sunday Times 16 Sept. 80/7 Young egrets had a habit of killing off their nest-mates—‘siblicide’ was the apparent cause of death in many brood reductions.

1993 J. Alcock Animal Behavior (ed. 5) xv. 496 (caption) Siblicide in hyenas occurs because the very young animals possess sharp canines that they use to slash their siblings under some conditions.

2004 Nature 6 May 23/2 He charts how biologists' views of siblicide have evolved over the years: it has been considered simply an aberration, and also a means of population control for the benefit of the species.

2014 Irish Times (Nexis) 6 Sept. 4 Siblicide is one of the rarest types of family homicide. A recent review in the US found that of 14,000 homicides recorded in a given year, just over 100 were siblicides.
