Primes¶
- Access Catchment
- Hydrology and ecology. The watershed is the dual case where the catchment is the upstream set flowing into a node, and central-place foraging and home ranges are catchments around a nest or flower.
This sourceFounds central-place foraging theory, treating the area a forager exploits around a fixed nest or central place as a catchment bounded by travel cost. (No stable DOI; verified via Semantic Scholar https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/71712b997110b5011ea40a0b98f9892dba59075b.)

- Operational Overextension
- In biology and ecology, a population expands its foraging range beyond what the central place can supply, and a drought or predator pulse collapses the perimeter.
This sourceDevelops central-place foraging theory — effective foraging range bounded by round-trip cost from the central place — the ecological instance with no human practice.

- Operational Reach
- Infrastructure: power, water, cellular, and broadband all have reach functions that decay with distance from the source and impose service boundaries. Biology: a central-place forager (bee, woodpecker, beaver) has a reach bounded by the energy cost of the round trip; foraging theory formalises the trade-off.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
