← Nature & AnimalsWhich acoustic deception strategy occurs with banded killifish?
A)Predator detection masking conspecific call
B)Resource defense using dishonest signals✓
C)Mate attraction biasing song amplitude
D)Echolocation jamming mimicking target echo
💡 Explanation
Dishonest signaling occurs because a smaller fish employs acoustic exaggeration during contests using size assessment; this increases perceived size for resource defense rather than accurate signaling because accurate signalling would reveal vulnerability. Therefore, smaller fish gain advantage.
