← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational error occurs when polarized light availability changes, impairing the location 'maps' used by migrating monarch butterflies?
A)Overshooting designated breeding territory✓
B)Disrupted circadian entrainment process
C)Inaccurate thermal gradient tracking
D)Compromised conspecific cue decoding
💡 Explanation
Polarized light affects the butterflies’ celestial navigation, therefore overshooting occurs instead of accurately locating breeding grounds, because it uses polarized light patterns for orientation, rather than cues such as thermal gradients or conspecific density.
