Which acoustic consequence arises when a bat colony experiences overcrowding during pup rearing?

💡 Explanation

Crowded pups produce overlapping distress calls; masking occurs because auditory masking interferes with the mother bats using pup isolation calls to identify offspring, therefore correct recognition decreases, rather than increased harmonics in echolocation which relate to obstacle detection.
