← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when a songbird fledgling's developmental environment lacks exposure to conspecific calls?
A)Perfect species-typical song development occurs
B)Increased susceptibility to nest predation
C)Subsong structure becomes highly variable✓
D)Enhanced foraging efficiency develops instead
💡 Explanation
Subsong variability increases due to the mechanism of auditory learning, because consistent acoustic input is necessary for proper song template formation; therefore, a songbird might develop an abnormal song, rather than a normal conspecific song, owing to lack of necessary exposure stimuli.
