← Nature & AnimalsWhich process initiates navigation following displacement beyond foraging territory relying purely on scent?
A)Anosmia inhibits spatial learning immediately
B)Aversive conditioning prevents future scouting
C)Olfactory imprinting guides instinctual direction✓
D)Magnetic field disturbance alters sensory input
💡 Explanation
Homebound salmonid migration uses olfactory imprinting where river-specific scents trigger recall; navigation, not just random searches, begins because receptor activation elicits directed movement toward natal streams, therefore imprinting orients them, rather than localized scent gradients at displacement.
