To determine the role of the maternal environment in the development of adult olfactory preferences, the young of 2 spp. of North American lemmings (D. groenlandicus and L. trimucronatus) were reciprocally cross-fostered shortly after birth. In-fostered (reared by foster conspecific females) and non-fostered animals served as controls. When adult, subjects, were tested for olfactory preferences in a free-choice Y-maze olfactometer. When compared to controls, cross-fostered animals showed an increased preference for heterospecific odor. This effect was stronger for males than for females. Adult species-specific odor preferences are learned during the neonatal period.
