Which risk increases when songbirds breed near roads?

💡 Explanation

Increased road noise leads to signal masking, which interferes with alarm calls; thus, increased offspring predation results because masked calls prevent predators detections rather than improve territory defense. Therefore alternatives do not result from simple increased noise levels.
