Detailed explanation-1: -Cross fostering has been used in conservation biology such as the rearing of black robin chicks by other species. In this instance the species was so close to extinction, with literally a handful of surviving individuals and a single mother, there was little chance of raising many offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -n. 1. in animal behavior studies, the exchange of offspring between litters as a means of separating the effects of genetics from early experience.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a procedure, offspring are placed under the care of foster parents whose genetic relatedness to them researchers deliberately manipulate. Cross-fostering allows researchers to detect similarities and differences between the biological parents and the foster parents observed in the offspring.
