← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when an avian species' cognitive map faces geographic discontinuities?
A)Increased migratory route navigational precision
B)Decreased detour efficiency after displacement✓
C)Enhanced encoding of alternative magnetic cues
D)Improved homing accuracy with age
💡 Explanation
Detour inefficiency increases as cognitive maps are disrupted by geographic barriers, because the optimal route is fragmented, therefore navigation suffers, rather than improving via better use of familiar cues or alternate mechanisms.
