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 ...

[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.) ...

KELLY: Bats flying out of their caves by the thousands, sometimes tens of thousands. Across the world, it happens every night ...

Ruben Graham-Morris, a blind eight-year-old boy, has mastered echolocation to get around on ... since the technique he teaches is similar to how bats get around. Ruben's mother said that means ...

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 ...
