← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigation error occurs when altered celestial cues?
A)Inaccurate migration path reconstruction✓
B)Disrupted pheromone gradient tracking
C)Impaired magnetic field orientation
D)Compromised auditory spectral cues
💡 Explanation
Inexperienced migratory birds use celestial navigation to estimate their flight direction. Artificially altered sunsets induce errors in their internal clock via photoperiodism. Therefore, path reconstruction becomes inaccurate rather than using other unchanged sensory cues like magnetoreception.
