Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]

, 2008
Bats are capable of imaging their surroundings in great detail using echolocation. To apply similar methods to human engineering systems requires the capability to measure and recreate the signals used, and to understand the processing applied to ...

Exploring Premature Detachment of Radio-Transmitters Used on Bats in Telemetry Surveys

, 2021
To understand wildlife ecology, one common strategy is a technique known as telemetry. This technique involves attaching radio-transmitters to animals. For volant species, such as bats, transmitters are attached to their backs with an adhesive.

Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]

, 2015
Funding: Det Frie Forskningsrad (MJ)Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with high-repetition-rate, low-intensity

Biomimetic echolocation with application to radar and sonar sensing [PDF]

, 2014
Nature provides a number of examples where acoustic echolocation is the primary sensing modality, the most well-known of these being the bat, whale and dolphin. All demonstrate a remarkable ability to "see with sound".

The relationship between niche breadth and geographic range size in African Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae, Chiroptera)

, 2011
According to Brown's hypothesis, generalists have high niche breadth and can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions resulting in large geographic range sizes. Conversely, specialists have low niche breadth and small range sizes.

Vertical variation in flight activity of the lesser short-tailed bat in podocarp and beech forests, Central North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2013
Designing robust monitoring programmes for cryptic species is particularly difficult. Not detecting a species does not necessarily mean that it is absent from the sampling area. A conclusion of absence made in error can lead to misguided inferences about
