← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational maladaptation occurs when honeybees perform waggle dance amidst strong artificial light?
A)Reduced floral scent discrimination
B)Compromised thermoregulation capability
C)Misinterpretation of distance cues✓
D)Increased susceptibility to varroa mites
💡 Explanation
Bees use the polarization of sunlight for waggle dance orientation; artificial sources disrupt this. This impairs their celestial compass via polarized light sensitivity, therefore leading to misinterpretation of distance, rather than scent interference or mite susceptibility.
