Which outcome occurs when starling chicks lack geomagnetic compass calibration during development?

💡 Explanation

Navigation errors will arise because magnetic information is an imprinting mechanism for orientation during initial migration. Lack of calibration therefore leads to disorientation rather than alternative effects like increased parasitism, because it impairs spatial encoding.
