← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a migratory bird relies solely on olfactory maps during a magnetic reversal event?
A)Increased use of celestial navigation
B)Disrupted homing capabilities and displacement✓
C)Enhanced imprinting on natal territories
D)Faster adaptation to new food sources
💡 Explanation
Disrupted homing occurs because olfactory map navigation becomes unreliable without magnetic validation, rendering the imprinted map incoherent; therefore displacement increases, rather than animals effectively switching to secondary navigation methods under these conditions.
