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 ...

For a bat to be at the top of its game for echolocation, it needs a good head on its shoulders. Not all bats, though, are the same when it comes to sensing their surroundings in total darkness — some ...

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 ...
