Did Dinosaurs Abandon Their Young to Help Them Survive?

In late Cretaceous Alberta, apex predators roamed free in vast numbers, so how did the prey survive? Edmontosaurus are large, herbivorous dinosaurs, and one of the most abundantly found dinosaur species in Alberta and beyond, yet the fossils of the young and the old are rarely found together. Could abandoning their young really help them survive to adulthood?
