← Nature & AnimalsWhich acoustic adaptation enables echolocating bats to discriminate prey texture?
A)Doppler shift compensation sensitivity
B)Laryngeal frequency pattern oscillation
C)Pinna shape modulation encoding✓
D)Tracheal pressure threshold adjustment
💡 Explanation
Pinna shape changes directionally filter returning echoes; because this spatial hearing enhances texture analysis by creating unique acoustic signatures, therefore bats improve discrimination rather than relying solely on spectral changes.
