← Nature & AnimalsWhich event increases when oceanic seabirds fail olfactory imprinting?
A)Decreased navigational foraging efficiency✓
B)Enhanced predator avoidance strategies
C)Improved mate selection precision
D)Greater nesting site fidelity rates
💡 Explanation
Reduced olfactory sensitivity harms a seabird's navigation, because they often rely on dimethyl sulfide plumes emitted by phytoplankton to pinpoint prey; therefore, foraging suffers, rather than improved mate selection if this signal recognition fails.
