← Nature & AnimalsWhich scenario increases predation risk when dinoflagellate densities rise?
A)Enhanced bioluminescence causes detection surfacing✓
B)Algal blooms deoxygenate deep water
C)Nutrient depletion impacts the microbiome
D)Increased pH inhibits enzyme function
💡 Explanation
The intensity and frequency of bioluminescence increase with dinoflagellate density. This increased signaling creates a higher predation risk because visually oriented predators easily detect their prey, therefore, the high visibility causes increased mortality rather than indirect effects.
