Which navigation error results if a bird's olfactory map lacks gradients?

💡 Explanation

If olfactory maps in birds lack sufficient odor gradients, chemotaxis fails; navigation suffers because they cannot discern direction. This leads to overshooting wintering locales, rather than computing airspeed or using magnetic inputs, since direction is compromised.
