Which acoustic effect results when male tungara frogs aggregate?

💡 Explanation

Auditory masking occurs because overlapping calls reach saturation, therefore impeding female frogs from distinguishing specific mating signals for species identification, rather than aiding spatial lek compression which requires signal differentiation.
