Which statement about auditory communication is false?
A) Alarm calls tend to have a single frequency and little temporal structure.
B) Complex calls at lower frequencies carry better in open habitats than in forests.
C) Animals adjust frequency and structure of acoustic signals to minimize risk of detection by predators.
D) Auditory signals are often better than visual signals in complex environments.
E) Territorial calls are easy to localize because they cover a broad frequency range and have temporal structure.

Question

Complex calls at lower frequencies are more effectively transmitted in forests rather than open habitats due to the way sound waves interact with the environment. Lower frequencies are less likely to be absorbed by foliage and can travel further in dense environments.
