Etymology
Noun
allocare (uncountable)
- Care given to an infant by an animal that is not the infant's parent.
- 2012, John C. Mitani, The Evolution of Primate Societies, page 334:
- Older offspring can either provide allocare for siblings, which is in the mother's interest, or try to find a breeding position in another group, which may be even more costly to them than helping their mother (e.g., saddle-back tamarin, Saguinus fuscicollis, Goldizen et al. 1996).
