Which constraint limits the calling distance for North American red squirrels?

💡 Explanation

Acoustic degradation through scattering by atmospheric turbulence constrains squirrel vocalizations; because acoustic energy decreases with distance, faint signals cannot be distinguished; therefore, signal fidelity is limited, rather than pheromones, seasonal factors, or olfactory transmission which are independent.
