← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when artificial light disrupts avian magnetic alignment during nocturnal migration?
A)Skewed compass, circuitous flight path✓
B)Reduced food intake, metabolic suppression
C)Elevated body temperature, dehydration risk
D)Compromised plumage, increased feather loss
💡 Explanation
Light pollution interferes with magnetoception, impairing the birds' internal magnetic compass because light exposure overwhelms their ability to properly orient; therefore birds deviate substantially from their intended route, becoming disoriented, rather than experiencing the other effects which relate to different stressors.
