Question

Bats hunt using echolocation, in which they send and receive high frequency sounds to locate prey. When bats hear the sounds of others, they typically begin hunting in the same area. As the number of bats hunting in the area increases, individuals become more successful at locating and capturing prey.
Some populations of bats live in areas with high levels of noise pollution, such as near heavily trafficked bridges. How might the hunting behavior of bats be affected by such an environment?

A.
Bats would be more likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would increase.
B.
Bats would be unable to use echolocation, which would prevent them from finding any prey.
C.
Bats would be less likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would decrease.
D.
Bats would be better able to use echolocation, which would improve their ability to find prey.

Answer 1

The answer is; B & C

The noise would interrupt communication between bats and also interfere with echolocation to catch prey. The bats would therefore also be less successful even hunting in groups. This is because some of the noise from the trafficked bridge is almost similar or is similar to the frequency used by bats in echolocation. This would cause interference.
