← Nature & AnimalsAn insect foraging uses spatial learning; which consequence results when relying solely on olfactory maps?
A)Efficient short-range resource location assured.
B)Increased vulnerability to wind drift.✓
C)Flexible adaptation to route obstacles
D)Robust navigation across unfamiliar topologies
💡 Explanation
Sole reliance on olfactory maps makes insects more vulnerable to wind drift, because turbulence disrupts scent plumes, therefore navigation becomes destabilized rather than if visual and spatial systems compensate.
