Which risk profile increases when an echolocating bat population lacks auditory cortex plasticity?

💡 Explanation

Reduced auditory cortex plasticity impairs neural adaptation to changing environments because **neural recalibration** is less effective. Therefore, bats compete poorly for food sources, rather than improve thermal resistance, because echolocation acuity doesn't evolve instantly to novel prey acoustics.
