Which consequence results when monarch butterflies' ultraviolet receptor is damaged during migration?

A)Inability to detect polarized light
B)Failure to cluster for warmth
C)Disrupted larval diapause timing
D)Impaired nectar source location

💡 Explanation

Impaired ultraviolet receptor function disrupts celestial navigation through polarized light gradient detection along their migration route because perception affects their directional sense. Butterflies lose navigational accuracy therefore misdirection occurs rather than finding nectar which relies more on olfactory cues.
