Echolocation in bats and high-frequency hearing in their insect prey make bats and insects
an ideal system for studying the sensory ecology and neuroethology of predator–prey …

The paper reviews current knowledge of intensity and directionality of bat echolocation
signals. Recent studies have revealed that echolocating bats can be much louder than …

The recording and analysis of echolocation calls are fundamental methods used to study bat
distribution, ecology, and behavior. However, the goal of identifying bats in flight from their …

Echolocating bats produce very diverse vocal signals for echolocation and social
communication that span an impressive frequency range of 1 to 120 kHz or 7 octaves. This …

Warning signals are well known in the visual system, but rare in other modalities. Some
moths produce ultrasonic sounds to warn bats of noxious taste or to mimic unpalatable …

Solar energy is an important renewable energy source. However, the ecological effects of
solar farms are largely unknown. Behavioral experiments proved previously that smooth …

Substantial evidence now supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of bats was
nocturnal and capable of both powered flight and laryngeal echolocation. This scenario …

Echolocating bats and toothed whales hunt and navigate by emission of sound pulses and
analysis of returning echoes to form a self-generated auditory scene. Here, we demonstrate …

Prey transmit sensory illusions to redirect predatory strikes, creating a discrepancy between
what a predator perceives and reality. We use the acoustic arms race between bats and …

Organisms face the cognitive challenge of making decisions based on imperfect information.
Predators and prey, in particular, are confronted with ambiguous stimuli when foraging and …
