Title

RIS ID
127662
Abstract
We report the cross-fostering of a Wedge-tailed Shearwater chick by White-necked Petrels during the 2016/17 breeding season in the Norfolk Islands. Our finding highlights the possibility that cross-fostering of these procellariids can be used in conservation applications.
