← Nature & AnimalsWhich behavior occurs when a cave swiftlet's **signal masking** limit is exceeded?
A)Decreased predator detection range limits
B)Foraging efficiency drops dramatically fast✓
C)Juvenile independence is rapidly increased
D)Metabolic rate increases during swarming flights
💡 Explanation
Reduced swiftlet density foraging occurs because exceeding the signal masking limit impairs ability to distinguish individual echoes. Accuracy drops; therefore foraging plunges--rather than improving predator detection or swiftlet metabolism whose influence is independent of location acoustics.
