In oldfield mice, did developmental experience (helping raise one's own parents raise broods of offspring) affect parental success in helpers when they were eventually reproducing on their own? O Yes, because experienced mothers had better nest-building behaviors and higher offspring survival O No, because developmental experience has never been shown to affect behavior later in life O No, since experiments showed that experienced mice started building nests earlier than unexperienced mice. Yes, because experienced mice had lower reproductive success than unexperienced mice
