← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a Beluga whale calf increasingly imitates specific vocalizations during development?
A)Enhanced capacity for niche partitioning
B)Greater susceptibility to external predation
C)Refined ability for mother-calf recognition✓
D)Reduced dependence on inherited communication
💡 Explanation
Refined mother-calf recognition occurs because vocal learning reinforces call distinctiveness; therefore offspring develop a more unique ‘signature’ call, rather than sharing common contact calls and creating recognition ambiguity that already is filtered by signal frequency.
