Chapter 54, Problem 4DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The process with greater effect between addition of eggs to nest or removal of eggs from the nest.
Introduction: The situation when the birds and other animals feed their offspring in the nest and chicks are tied to a single location, and the parents travel farther in search of food, this is called central foraging
