← Nature & AnimalsWhich foraging outcome results when migratory birds misinterpret celestial cues?
A)Increased gene flow in populations
B)Premature breeding range departure✓
C)Enhanced predator avoidance tactics
D)Optimized resource use predictability
💡 Explanation
Disrupted celestial navigation induces premature departure, where photoperiod change governs migratory timing. Birds use a celestial "map"; because they interpret cues denoting seasonal shifts incorrectly, therefore migrants depart breeding grounds too early rather than exploiting resources efficiently.
