← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational outcome results when monarch butterflies encounter deforestation blocking sunlight?
A)Disrupted celestial compass orientation✓
B)Compromised magnetic field detection
C)Enhanced pheromone trail following
D)Increased reliance on landmark recognition
💡 Explanation
Deforestation causes fragmented habitat, so butterflies cannot identify polarized light patterns, disrupting celestial compass orientation, because clear skies are needed for navigation. Therefore, directional flight becomes impaired, rather than magnetic sense being affected, other senses may be used.
