Which navigational error occurs when polarized light availability changes, impairing the location 'maps' used by migrating monarch butterflies?

💡 Explanation

Polarized light affects the butterflies’ celestial navigation, therefore overshooting occurs instead of accurately locating breeding grounds, because it uses polarized light patterns for orientation, rather than cues such as thermal gradients or conspecific density.
