Natural History and Biosonar Signals
1995The diversity of bats is reflected in many aspects of their appearance and behavior. There are approximately 900 species of extant bats with most occurring in the tropics and subtropics. From continental settings to islands, including remote oceanic ones such as Hawaii, bats often are prominent members of the mammal fauna.

Localization with Biosonar Signals in Bats
1983Bats use a kind of biological sonar, called echolocation, for perception of objects in the environment. They belong to the mammalian order Chiroptera (“wing-handed”), and echolocating bats comprise the suborder Microchiroptera (“little” bats), which contains about 700 living species. About 550 of these species are insectivorous, capturing their prey in

Biosonar of Bats and Toothed Whales: An Overview
2014The need for an updated review of echolocation is obvious in light of the rapid development in the field. Equipment has improved dramatically to allow unprecedented level of control also in field experiments. Also, the active acoustic orientation of bats and dolphins provide a unique window into adaptive perception processes, making echolocators ...

Biosonar and Sound Localization in Dolphins
2016Toothed whales and dolphins, odontocete cetaceans, produce very loud biosonar sounds in order to navigate and to locate and catch their prey of fish and squid. Underwater biosonar was not discovered until after 1950, but the initial experiments demonstrated a unique sensory modality that could find small targets far away and distinguish between objects

Production of Biosonar Signals: Structure and Form
2014Even though they live in quite different habitats, many bats, a few birds, and a number of marine mammals, including dolphins, rely on biosonar for navigation and foraging for food. Despite the fact that bats are aerial echolocators, whereas dolphins use underwater sonar, both groups depend on their sonar signals to detect, discriminate, locate, track,
