As darkness falls and the air begins to cool, thousands of bats burst from the narrow mouth of their cave. The sky comes ...

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 ...

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

[Tony Messina] had been fascinated with bat’s echolocation since he was a kid. After he retired, he decided to act on this fascination and built a simple bat detector. The simple bat detector ...

the experiment had to take place in total darkness to ensure that the bats relied only on echolocation. (Contrary to popular belief, bats are not blind—they just tend to have poorer vision.) ...

A new study published in the journal Science reveals that Kuhl's pipistrelle bats can navigate over long distances using echolocation and vision. The research describes how these bats can identify ...

This potentially important model-based study seeks to mimic bat echolocation behavior and flight under high-density conditions. The simulations convincingly suggest that the problem of acoustic ...

Echolocating 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 ...

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 ...
