← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a swarm's waggle dance information conflicts?
A)Reduced foraging efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased predator avoidance behavior
C)Genetic bottleneck will develop
D)Enhanced colony lifespan results
💡 Explanation
Reduced foraging efficiency increases, triggered by conflicting directions given by the waggle dance, which depends on accurate information; the mechanism prevents correct food source locations. Therefore groups foraging independently, rather than optimal coordinated location, means foraging efficiency will reduce.
