← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when Monarch butterflies' circadian rhythm misaligns?
A)Loss of thermoregulation efficiency
B)Predator avoidance failure
C)Disrupted celestial migration navigation✓
D)Reduced larval ecdysone production
💡 Explanation
Migratory butterflies rely on celestial cues, mainly polarized light, to maintain direction, driven by CLOCK genes regulating behavioral rhythms; misalignment impairs this Celestial navigation, because of disruptions in the internal biological clock that influences navigation rather than thermoregulation, avoiding predators, or ecdysone production.
