In this paper, the authors consider the following forager-exploiter model \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} &u_t=u_{xx}-\chi_1(uw_x)_x+\mu_1u(1-u-a_1v),\qquad x\in\Omega,t>0,\\ &v_t=v_{xx}-\chi_2(vu_x)_x+\mu_2v(1-v-a_2u),\qquad x\in\Omega,t>0,\\ &w_t=w_{xx}-\lambda(u+v)w-\mu w+r,\qquad x\in\Omega,t>0, \end{aligned} \right. \] in a smooth bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}\) with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, where the parameters \(\chi_1\), \(\chi_2\), \(\mu_1\), \(\mu_2\), \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(\lambda\), \(\mu\), \(r\) are all the positive constants. The authors prove that for all appropriately regular initial data, the corresponding initial-boundary value problem has a global bounded classical solution. Moreover, they also consider the large time behavior of solution. When \(0<a_1, a_2 < 1\), they assert that forager and exploiter will approach spatially homogeneous distributions under some explicit conditions; if \(0<a_1<1\); \(a_2\ge 1\), the exploiter will become extinct.
