← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome increases if a moth evolves mutations disrupting tympanal membrane sensitivity in nocturnal environments?
A)Decreased susceptibility avian predation✓
B)Enhanced bat echolocation accuracy
C)Increased competition larval resources
D)Reduced mating call reception
💡 Explanation
Decreased tympanal sensitivity reduces the moth's detection of bat echolocation, because this hinders the moth's ability to evade bat predators; therefore, the moth becomes less susceptible to predation rather than enhancing predator accuracy or altering other unrelated processes.
