First evidence for adoption in California sea lions.

PloS one - 8 Nov 2010

Flatz Ramona, Gerber Leah R

Abstract excerpt

Demographic parameters such as birth and death rates determine the persistence of populations. Understanding the mechanisms that influence these rates is essential to developing effective management strategies. Alloparental behavior, or the care of non-filial young, has been documented in many species and has been shown to influence offspring survival. However, the role of alloparental behavior in maintaining...
