Visually dominant animals use gaze adjustments to organize perceptual inputs for cognitive
processing. Thereby they manage the massive sensory load from complex and noisy …

Echolocating mammals generally target individual prey items by transitioning through the
biosonar phases of search (slow-rate, high-amplitude outputs), approach (gradually …

Animals that use echolocation (biosonar) listen to acoustic signals with a large range of
intensities, because echo levels vary with the fourth power of the animal's distance to the …

Visual predators rely on fast-acting optokinetic responses to track and capture agile prey.
Most toothed whales, however, rely on echolocation for hunting and have converged on …

Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound
intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with …

Porpoise echolocation has been studied previously, mainly in target detection experiments
using stationed animals and steel sphere targets, but little is known about the acoustic …

Echolocating bats and toothed whales probe their environment with ultrasonic sound pulses,
using returning echoes to navigate and find prey in a process that appears to have resulted …

Predators make foraging decisions based upon sensory information about resource
availability, but little is known about how large, air-breathing predators collect and use such …

Detecting objects in their paths is a fundamental perceptional function of moving organisms.
Potential risks and rewards, such as prey, predators, conspecifics or non-biological …

Echolocating toothed whales generally adjust click intensity and rate according to target
range to ensure that echoes from targets of interest arrive before a subsequent click is …
