← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases for migratory birds flying near large airports?
A)Disrupted celestial compass orientation formation✓
B)Increased predation from urban wildlife
C)Masking of geomagnetic navigational signal
D)Depleted energy reserves due to detours
💡 Explanation
Airport lighting can induce light pollution, disrupting nocturnal birds' celestial compass, because skylight polarization patterns are blurred; therefore orientation is skewed, hindering accurate navigation, rather than impacts on other navigation systems like geomagnetic sensing.
