← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reduces lizard detection when substrate temperatures exceed camouflage efficacy?
A)Enhanced behavioral thermoregulation strategies✓
B)Increased melanin synthesis locally
C)Reduced activity during midday hours
D)Dietary shift towards carotenoid-rich sources
💡 Explanation
Behavioral thermoregulation reduces detection because shuttling between sun and shade allows thermoregulation, masking imperfect camouflage via reduced movement rather than relying solely on ineffective color matching; melanin or dietary shifts would likely be too slow.
