Which outcome commonly occurs when a bat encounters interference during hunting?

💡 Explanation

Decreased prey capture results; interference disrupts the bat's 'acoustic scene', thereby causing a misjudgment where the prey is relative to other aspects from the background through signal masking rather than others. Because echolocation is compromised, prey is harder to locate, therefore its hunt decreases.
