Which consequence results when a solitary bird species occupies a habitat with significant artificial noise?

💡 Explanation

Urban noise masks crucial elements of bird songs. Plasticity causes acoustic adaptation, specifically a frequency shift because birds utilize **frequency avoidance** to communicate effectively. Therefore, vocalizations change under selection pressure rather than physical attributes or efficiency.
