← Nature & AnimalsWhich signal interference occurs when fireflies use bioluminescence?
A)Predator mimicry elicits altered foraging
B)Photobleaching desensitizes receptor cells
C)Luminescent pollution obscures signaling patterns✓
D)Genetic drift modifies emission spectra
💡 Explanation
Luminescent pollution interferes with firefly communication because excessive artificial light masks mating signals using bioluminescence, therefore reproductive success decreases, rather than other disruptive evolutionary processes.
