← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational adjustment occurs with star visibility obscured?
A)Increased reliance on magnetic compass✓
B)Reduced foraging radius demonstrated immediately
C)Enhanced olfactory map usage activated sooner
D)Faster social communication signal integration
💡 Explanation
When celestial cues diminish, migratory birds increase magnetic field alignment use, because magnetic inclination provides heading information when star-based celestial navigation is impossible; therefore, compass reliance increases, rather than olfactory maps alone because the compass provides a redundant long range directional cue.
