← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a moth evolves insulation scales inhibiting a bat's signal?
A)Reduces the bat's detection range✓
B)Enhances bat's spatial resolution
C)Increases bat's metabolic energy needs
D)Forces bat to fly erratically
💡 Explanation
The bat's detection range drops because the moth's camouflage inhibits the bat's echolocation by sound dampening. This reduces the return signal detected by the neurosensory cochlea; therefore the moth range increases, rather than enhancing the acoustic signal.
