← Nature & AnimalsWhich adaptive outcome ensures colony survival when scout bees overestimate nectar richness?
A)Increased waggle dance duration encoding
B)Implementation of stop signal mechanism✓
C)Enhancement of distance encoding precision
D)Use of pheromone trail reinforcement behavior
💡 Explanation
Stop signal mechanisms prevent over-recruitment by bees if nectar sources are poor, because chemical signals suppress waggle dancing; therefore, energy isn't wasted exploring unproductive zones, rather than assuming all announced sources are extremely high-quality.
