0 (of birds) to sit on eggs -- sedět na vejcích
The hens brood on their eggs for three weeks
1 to think (about something) anxiously for some time -- dumat
There’s no point in brooding about what happened.
2 the number of young hatched at one time -- mláďata (z jedné snůšky)
a brood of four chicks.
We therefore recorded a brood's location and altitude as at the nearest intersection of a 100 m grid.
Also, broods moved around such that ' location ' and ' altitude ' were approximations only of where chicks picked up ticks.
There is always a certain number of resting larvae (2 to 12 per cent.) throughout the summer in otherwise active broods.
In the other broods either all the larvae developed actively or 1 to 3 larvae remained hibernating.
The average duration of development calculated for all broods was 51 -5 days, considerably longer than in summer (36 to 40 days).
In such broods larvae are found whose development is arrested over a relatively long period.
He brooded over what he had written before submitting it for publication.
Locations where broods were caught were an approximate indication only of where chicks might have picked up their ticks.
