The first bat-wearable microphone is helping biologists study the bats’ good safety record at avoiding collisions in rush hour air. On summer evenings, in around a minute, some 2,000 greater ...

Bats change their echolocation to avoid collisions in large groups Study in Israel reveals bats fanning out to reduce jamming ...

Bats use a perceptual system called echolocation that allows them to produce high pitch sounds that bounce off nearby objects and living things. Humans can't normally hear these sounds ...

Many bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation: they emit a call and listen for the reflected echo, which in turn allows them to "see" what is around them. But if many bats are ...

The study is the first to detail how these bats turn echolocation signals into a 3-D image of moving prey and could provide practical tips for engineers. Wohlgemuth is in talks with researchers ...

Many bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation: they emit a call and listen for the reflected echo, which in turn allows them to "see" what is around them. But if many bats are ...

The paper L. Stidsholt et al., “Hunting bats adjust their echolocation to receive weak prey echoes for clutter reduction,” Sci Adv, 10:eabf1367, 2021. Most of what is known about bat echolocation has ...

Bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation. Many bats echolocate at once when a whole colony emerges from a cave. As a result, the calls of others are drowned out. Scientists call this ...

See: D.S. Jacobs et al., “Testing the sensory drive hypothesis: Geographic variation in echolocation frequencies of Geoffroy’s horseshoe bat (Rhinolophidae ...

What matters is detecting the bat directly in front of you. That’s the one you’ll collide with if you’re not careful. So you change your echolocation in a way that gives you the best detail ...
