← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a moth evolves scales that diminish ultrasonic backscattering during bat predation?
A)Disrupted auditory foveation reduces localization
B)Echolocation interference reduces signal clarity✓
C)Adaptive camouflage mirrors background textures
D)Aposematism warns of toxic defenses
💡 Explanation
Echolocation interference disrupts acoustic signals; because modified moth scales cause destructive Ultrasound interference blurring reflections, resulting in reduced signal clarity for bats and less effective hunting. Reduced auditory localization is a separate mechanism; therefore echolocation interference not localization causes this, rather than camouflage or aposematism.
