Definition
The eating or consumption of one's siblings, especially referring to cannibalism within a family group or species.
Etymology
From Greek 'adelphos' (brother) and 'phagein' (to eat). The term is used in zoology and ethology to describe siblicide where the victim is consumed.
Kelly Says
Some bird chicks practice adelphophagy—the strongest chick will literally eat its weaker siblings in the nest—and it's nature's brutal way of ensuring that at least one survives!
