P. kuhlii above a spectrogram of its echolocation sequence. Source: Eran Amichai, used with permission. Many bats navigate using echolocation—emitting high-frequency sound pulses and analyzing the ...

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 ...

In a study published in Science, Goldshtein et al. explored how small echolocating bats, specifically Kuhl’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii), navigate complex environments using different sensory ...

Some flowers may have evolved long stems to make it easier for echolocating bats to find them. Like insects and hummingbirds, bats that feed on nectar are important pollinators for hundreds of species ...

An international research team set out to test whether diurnal moths—less threatened by echolocating bats—would have reduced tympanal organs. These specialized hearing organs allow moths to detect the ...
