My question relates to differential parental behavior in non-human species. We tend to favor the survival of our well-behaved offspring, and let our "ill-behaved" offspring wither or perish. What other species exhibit this scornful, selective kind of parental attachment to offspring?

Dear Lonny.
As I see it, what you say is, as it were, an evolutionary law. Because of this I am inclined to say that differential parental behavior also exists in non-human species. This seems to be a cruel reality, but we cannot inverse the evolutionary laws.
Besr regards,
