← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs from increased anthropogenic noise near marine mammal breeding colonies?
A)Reduced foraging due to magnetic disruption.
B)Increased predation due to altered camouflage.
C)Masking of vocalizations hinders mate selection.✓
D)Disrupted migration due to thermal changes.
💡 Explanation
Masking prevents acoustic signals from reaching potential mates because acoustic interference elevates the signal threshold, hindering crucial courtship rituals. This results in lower breeding success, rather than predation changes via camouflage.
