← Nature & AnimalsWhich communication breakdown occurs when increased ocean acidification diminishes larval firefly squid bioluminescence?
A)Reduced predator avoidance, increased predation✓
B)Distorted magnetic field navigation route
C)Impaired symbiotic algae photosynthesis
D)Disrupted olfactory mating signal reception
💡 Explanation
Predator avoidance declines because enzymatic light production used for camouflage, becomes less effective due to acidification's impact on luciferin; therefore, predation risk is amplified, rather than affecting navigation or alternative communication methods.
