We hypothesized that species which regularly cache food should have more diverse diets while feeding on their stores than species which have not evolved general caching behaviors. Such a diet by caching species would tend to reduce the probability of being left with only poor dietary items late in the period of cache use. To test this hypothesis, we designed an experiment to compare the diets of caching and noncaching species following a period of experimental feeding trials which simulated a caching situation
