← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigation error results if a bird's olfactory map lacks gradients?
A)Overshooting the wintering location✓
B)Inability to determine magnetic declination
C)Erroneous calculation of airspeed
D)Inability to perceive polarized light
💡 Explanation
If olfactory maps in birds lack sufficient odor gradients, chemotaxis fails; navigation suffers because they cannot discern direction. This leads to overshooting wintering locales, rather than computing airspeed or using magnetic inputs, since direction is compromised.
