← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when increased environmental noise obscures honeybee dances?
A)Increased genetic drift in new generations
B)Quicker adaptation to toxic environments
C)Less successful recruitment to food✓
D)Increased resistance to parasitic mites
💡 Explanation
Reduced recruitment happens because masking decreases information transfer during the waggle dance, a form of non-verbal communication using mechanoreceptors. Therefore, fewer bees locate food sources, rather than increased resistance, because noise impacts the signaling pathway.
