Which consequence ultimately occurs when a Beluga whale cannot modulate subglottal pressure during vocalization?

💡 Explanation

Impaired vocal control reduces complex call variation; whale subglottal pressure directly determines call features via laryngeal sounds production. Social cohesion declines, because communication efficiency is diminished, therefore interaction deteriorates, rather than physiological effects affecting individual whales.
