Which risk increases for migratory birds when artificial nighttime skyglow obscures celestial cues?

A)Thermoregulatory stress during daylight hours
B)Increased susceptibility to parasitic infection
C)Spatial disorientation during night flight
D)Elevated metabolism during active foraging

💡 Explanation

Spatial disorientation increases because celestial navigation relies on identifying star patterns for direction; the mechanism involved is celestial imprinting. Therefore flight paths become erratic, rather than maintaining proper thermoregulation due to light or boosting parasite susceptibility.
