Which constraint causes greater noctuid moth mortality when higher-frequency bat calls occur?

💡 Explanation

Higher frequency sounds drive smaller resonators inefficiently; tympanal vibration uses frequency to detect approaching bats. Amplitude discrimination thus fails because auditory masking is increased, therefore moths can't evade, rather than other forms which have unrelated causal mechanisms under noise constraints.
