Imagine searching for a gemstone in a dark cave: You use a flashlight, looking for a rainbow-colored glint in the darkness.

Echolocating bats emit high-frequency vocalisations and analyse the returning echoes to construct a detailed acoustic image of their surroundings. This biosonar system relies on precise control of ...

Many animals possess hearing abilities far beyond human perception. These extraordinary senses aid survival, communication, and navigation in diverse environments. Bats use echolocation for hunting in ...

Bats live in a world of sounds. They use vocalizations both to communicate with their conspecifics and for navigation. For the latter, they emit sounds in the ultrasonic range, which echo and enable ...

Calling in the ultrasonic range enables small bats to orient themselves in the dark and track down tiny insects. Louder calls travel farther, improving a bat's ability to detect their prey. It was ...
