Which structural result arises when a barn owl's asymmetrical ear placement generates mismatched airflow?

💡 Explanation

The barn owl uses differential arrival times for sound localization. Asymmetrical ear placement cause varied airflow around these ears. This triggers neural processing for triangulation, rather than generating equal wing/feather forces or affecting stall speed because ear differences, not wings control hearing.
