← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a honeybee's waggle dance recruits foragers to a resource patch with diminishing returns?
A)Increased forager patch abandonment rate✓
B)Decreased nectar dehydration efficiency
C)Elevated pollen basket saturation level
D)Reduced hive thermoregulation demand
💡 Explanation
Increased patch abandonment occurs because diminishing returns trigger reduced waggle dance intensity, signaling lower patch quality; therefore foragers explore other locations, rather than continuing to exploit the less profitable one under the guidance of kinetic information alone.
