← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a solitary bird species occupies a habitat with significant artificial noise?
A)Increased ultraviolet plumage reflectance diversity
B)Depressed immune system through modified hormones
C)Compensatory adjustment to lower-frequency vocalizations✓
D)Enhanced foraging due to improved spectral hearing
💡 Explanation
Urban noise masks crucial elements of bird songs. Plasticity causes acoustic adaptation, specifically a frequency shift because birds utilize **frequency avoidance** to communicate effectively. Therefore, vocalizations change under selection pressure rather than physical attributes or efficiency.
