Learn how echolocation has shaped the skulls of bats that emit high-frequency sounds through their mouths and noses.

High-frequency ultrasound significantly reduces the size of the face and modifies the internal bones of the ear in bats.

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 ...

Acoustic jamming during bat emergence is weaker than expected because signal redundancy, echo integration, and simple movement rules enable robust navigation, as demonstrated by an agent‑based sensory ...

Bats are some of the most highly specialized mammals to have ever evolved. This includes not only the evolution of active ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tiger beetles generate "anti bat-sonar" to prevent echolocating bats from eating them, scientists say. An experiment suggests the beetles mimic sounds created by poisonous insects that bats avoid.

It may sound like a scene from Nosferatu, but research from the University of East Anglia shows that humans can use bat-like echolocation skills to judge the distance of objects. A study reveals that, ...
