One way  to  understand how  early environment influences differing behaviours in  similar  species is  through the ? cross- fostering? Experimental technique. Suppose that the curly- whiskered mud rat differs from the bald mud rat in several ways, including being much more aggressive. How would you set up a cross- fostering experiment to determine if environment plays a role in the curly- whiskered mud rat's aggression?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. You would cross curly- whiskered mud rats and bald mud rats and hand- rear the offspring.
  2. You would place new-born curly- whiskered mud rats with bald mud rat parents, place new-born bald mud rats with curly- whiskered mud rat parents, and let some mud rats of both species be raised by their own species. Then compare the outcomes.
  3. You would  remove the offspring of curly- whiskered mud rats and bald  mud rats from their parents and raise them in the same environment.
  4. You would see if curly- whiskered mud rats bred true for aggression.
