← Nature & AnimalsWhich signaling failure arises when hive temperature exceeds a critical limit, impairing clarity in bee waggle dances?
A)Information distortion and misinterpreted direction✓
B)Increased pheromone interference among foragers
C)Reduced acoustic signal fidelity in colony
D)Complete cessation of communication signals
💡 Explanation
Distortion happens due to the increased metabolic rate. Higher temperatures reduce precision during waggle dance encoding due to neural pathway inefficiencies. Therefore, signals blur, rather than increased pheromones or signal loss because dances attempt conveying navigation information.
