← Nature & AnimalsWhich sensory outcome occurs when a migrating bird encounters an unusually strong local magnetic anomaly?
A)Initiation of territory defense rituals
B)Disruption of magnetic compass navigation✓
C)Activation of mating song vocalization
D)Heightened sensitivity to olfactory maps
💡 Explanation
Magnetic anomalies can disrupt migration because magnetite in specialized cells enables magnetic field alignment, therefore it impairs navigation; rather than changing other behaviors because the anomaly directly affects sensing, not other biological signals.
