← Nature & AnimalsWhich 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

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.
