Which outcome occurs when a prairie dog colony experiences increased predation pressure?

💡 Explanation

Predation causes higher selection pressure, therefore 'syntax learning'—increased complexity of alarm call dialects—results because complex alarm calls convey more information about predator type, rather than simply indicating danger; this improves group survival.
