When a bat flies through a forest in the dark, it emits high-pitched sounds and hears their echoes bouncing off different objects. This echolocation lets it avoid trees or catch prey without using ...

Echolocation is one of evolution’s most remarkable solutions to life in darkness. This video explores how certain animals developed the ability to navigate, hunt, and understand their surroundings ...

To hunt insects in total darkness, bats emit precisely timed acoustic signals and then quickly analyze the resulting echoes. Whales have biological sonar to help them navigate through murky waters.

When you think of echolocation, you probably think of bats or dolphins. But echolocation has also been used as a way for blind people to navigate, too. Despite the skill's usefulness, few blind people ...

Neuroscientists have discovered a feedback loop that modulates the receptivity of the auditory cortex to incoming acoustic signals when bats emit echolocation calls. The researchers show that ...

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 ...

It’s now well-established that bats can develop a mental picture of their environment using echolocation. But we’re still figuring out what that means—how bats take the echoes of their own ...
