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

We typically imagine echolocation as “seeing” with sound—experiencing auditory signals as a world of images like the ones our ...

Dolphins Can 'See' Underwater By Using 'Echolocation' Technique, Scientists Find A team of researchers has managed to delve deeper into the minds of dolphins. They are hopeful that it will aid them in ...

Like sonar, echolocation works by projecting sound and listening to the reflection it makes when it hits the different objects of the environment. These reflections allow the animal to get ...

There were several reasons that navigation via echolocation wasn’t obvious at all. For starters, echolocation is hopelessly limited when it comes to range. Bats can use it to sense objects that ...

Curious whether bats rely on echolocation alone to navigate long distances, scientist Aya Goldshtein of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior set out alongside her colleagues to track the ...

‘Sonar with underwater microphones was used to detect enemy submarines. We call this passive sonar. However, this technique with hydrophones did not last when submarines became quieter and sailed ...

China said it has recovered a submarine-finding sonar device the U.S. allegedly dropped in a disputed part of the South China Sea. An undated video uploaded Wednesday by Yuyuan Tantian—a social media ...

They hunt in darkness, using sonar echolocation to detect and intercept flying insect prey. Among insects, most moth species are active at night. It must be really dangerous to be a moth.

Silk moths are normally no match for bats. But they can create "acoustic decoys" that let them escape from the powerful sonar sense of predatory bats.

Many animals rely on echolocation or biological sonar to live, especially in the ocean. Here's why the military's use of sonar is terrible for our friends underwater.
