Learn how echolocation has shaped the skulls of bats that emit high-frequency sounds through their mouths and noses.

Acoustic jamming during bat emergence is weaker than expected because signal redundancy, echo integration, and simple movement rules enable robust navigation, as demonstrated by an agent‑based sensory ...

Bats are some of the most highly specialized mammals to have ever evolved. This includes not only the evolution of active ...

High-frequency ultrasound significantly reduces the size of the face and modifies the internal bones of the ear in bats.

Bat vocal communication encompasses a diverse array of acoustic signals ranging from echolocation pulses that facilitate spatial mapping to complex social calls used in foraging, mating, and ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orientate themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid succession and evaluating the calls’ reflections. Yet, they have retained ...

Bats are well known for their ability to “see” with sound, using echolocation to find food and their roosts. Some bats may also conceive a map made of sounds from their home range. This map can help ...

Echolocating bats have been found to possess an acoustic cognitive map of their home range, enabling them to navigate over kilometer-scale distances using echolocation alone. Echolocating bats have ...

Bats are fascinating creatures and are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,500 species worldwide, so they account for around 20 percent of all mammals! You will find them almost everywhere ...

Species differ in vulnerability to anthropogenic land use changes. Knowledge of the mechanisms driving differential sensitivity can inform conservation strategies but is generally lacking for ...

I said something similar in another article thread recently, but even though the hypothesis was widely expected to be true, it still represents good science to finally get around to testing it and ...
