← Nature & AnimalsWhich mortality outcome primarily arises when Batesian mimicry fails during avian predation?
A)Accumulation of toxins causes poisoning
B)Rapid identification leads to consumption✓
C)Mutualistic symbiosis degrades predator
D)Disruptive coloration increases strike probability
💡 Explanation
Increased consumption results when Batesian mimicry ineffective, because perceptual deception fails; the mimic is targeted and provides nutritional value, therefore consumption increases mortality rather than defenses like poisonous substances or mutualistic benefits.
