Polis TN 37235, USA which carry food items back to a central place (e.g. a nest or burrow) where food is stored, eaten or fed to offspring. This model has developed into central place foraging theory, with its own set of predictions. The present study WebPearson (1979) developed a theoretical model dealing with what is called 'central place foraging' (Covich 1976; Andersson 1978; Schoener 1979). The basis hypothesis of this model is that, in order to maximize their fitness, foragers should maximize the rate of delivery of energy to the central place (CP). The central place foraging theory is a
