Which outcome arises in complex ant colonies lacking specific humidity gradients during communication when conveying food source information by "dance"?

💡 Explanation

Inefficient foraging arises because inaccurate distance assessment via the waggle dance during recruitment occurs, and this assessment depends on colony-wide air humidity gradients for accurate internal scaling, therefore direction finding suffers rather than other mechanisms that operate mostly independently of it.
