Which outcome increases for predators when pursuing mobile prey in complex terrain?

💡 Explanation

The energetic cost increases because maneuvering through obstacles during *ballistic interception* requires significant energy expenditure. Therefore, pursuit efficiency decreases, rather than accuracy increasing improving or cue effectiveness simplifying, under these strenuous conditions.
