Which outcome occurs when a prairie dog colony experiences increased predation pressure?

A)More complex alarm call dialects emerge
B)Decreased foraging time during daylight
C)Fewer individuals participate in sentinel duty
D)Increased reproductive rates in younger females

💡 Explanation

Predation causes higher selection pressure, therefore 'syntax learning'—increased complexity of alarm call dialects—results because complex alarm calls convey more information about predator type, rather than simply indicating danger; this improves group survival.
