Which outcome limits bat colony size where acoustic masking occurs?

💡 Explanation

Acoustic masking degrades specific signal recognition through background frequencies; disrupting bat vocalizations via the Lombard effect therefore occurs because information extraction is degraded, rather than enhancing success, because limited bandwidth reduces effective foraging range.
