Which navigational failure occurs when migratory locusts fail to properly create olfactory maps?

A)Random dispersion from swarm initiation
B)Impaired detection of suitable breeding sites
C)Disrupted thermoregulation within the microclimate
D)Abnormal aggregation at swarm reassembly

💡 Explanation

Improper olfactory map creation impairs detecting suitable breeding sites because pheromone-based navigation depends on spatial chemical gradients, and therefore females fail to locate optimal egg-laying habitats rather than showing dispersion randomness.
