Which consequence results when interference masks ultrasonic bat calls?

💡 Explanation

Decreased hunting efficiency occurs because interference hinders acoustic prey detection via acoustic masking, disrupting echolocation. Bats rely on interpreting returned ultrasonic waves, therefore compromised signals limit effective insect capture, rather than prey evolving quicker camouflage.
