Which orientation failure occurs when a migrating bird's epigenetic clock malfunctions, impairing celestial navigation?

💡 Explanation

Malfunctioning impacts the epigenetic clock, disrupting time-compensated celestial navigation. This degrades a bird's ability to use patterns in the night sky during orientation activities, because the location calculation relies on correct timing. Therefore, direction becomes unstable rather than migrating, or foraging.
