← Nature & AnimalsWhich auditory masking results when katydids aggregate closely?
A)Increased predator detection capability
B)Decreased signal perception threshold
C)Compromised species recognition ability✓
D)Enhanced anti-predator call repetition
💡 Explanation
When katydids aggregate, their combined calls experience the Lombard effect, raising background noise because it impairs individual species identification signals; hence, species recognition suffers, rather than allowing predators to detect individuals.
