A ccording to a new study, we may have been thinking about dolphins’ echolocation all wrong. Rather than using it to “see” ...

They’re great for the environment, but not your home. Don’t miss these early signs of a bat infestation. Bats get a bad rap First things first: A bat infestation doesn’t mean a horror movie scenario.

Bats. Image by Nils Bouillard via Unsplash. Bats emit high-frequency sound pulses, typically ranging from 20 kHz to 120 kHz, far beyond the range of human hearing. These ultrasonic calls differ in ...

Arizona bat. Image by Depositphotos. Initial observations indicate that the Arizona Myotis occupies a specialized ecological niche. Unlike many bat species that focus exclusively on flying insects, ...

Tracking bats as they navigate To address this, the team collected data directly from wild bats as they emerged from a cave in Israel’s Hula Valley. Using a mix of high-resolution location tracking, ...

Every night, bats emerge out of roosts in massive numbers, creating what scientists have called a “cocktail party nightmare” of clashing echolocations. Nobody knew how bats managed ...

They used a combination of high-resolution tracking, developed by Ran Nathan and Sivan Toledo, ultrasonic recording, and sensorimotor computer modeling -- all of which allowed the researchers to ...

High-resolution tracking and ultrasonic recording: When bats squeeze out of caves 94 percent of echolocation calls are jammed. Reduction of echolocation jamming: Within five seconds of emerging, bats ...

Most bat echolocation occurs at frequencies beyond human hearing. While humans can hear sounds ranging from 20 Hz to 15-20 kHz (depending on age), bat calls range from 9 kHz to 200 kHz.

Bats use echolocation to sense their environment, as do marine animals like whales and dolphins, and some shrews. The bats' high-frequency chirping sounds reflect off surfaces around them to form ...

That could have possibly been answered by depriving a fifth group of echolocation, but the bats simply refused to fly without it. So, that’s where things got a bit more high-tech.
