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 ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. This finding, recently ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

Most bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt, but some use their ears for another trick: eavesdropping. Hunt like a bat! How baby bats learn to eavesdrop on their next meal There are over 1400 ...

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 ...

As darkness falls and the air begins to cool, thousands of bats burst from the narrow mouth of their cave. The sky comes alive with their flapping wings, filling the air like a living liquid. It's a ...

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 ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute are developing tiny drones inspired by bats for search and rescue missions. The aerial robots use echolocation, like bats, to navigate in dark and ...
