Fast vocal-motor tracking of escaping prey in echolocating bats [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Echolocating bats face an intense arms race with insect prey that can detect bat calls and initiate evasive maneuvers. Their high closing speeds and short biosonar ranges leave bats with only a few 100 ms between detection and capture ...

The jamming avoidance response in echolocating bats [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2019 Bats face many sources of acoustic interference in their natural environments, including other bats and potential prey items that affect their ability to interpret the returning echoes of their biosonar signals.

Laminar Distribution of Spectrotemporal Receptive Field Subtypes in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Echolocating Bats. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciThis study examines how the bat auditory cortex evolved to process biosonar echoes during echolocation. Neurons in more superficial cortical layers exhibited more complex receptive fields matching the modulated acoustic patterns of echoes reflected from obstacles and prey, rather than just the bats' emitted pulses, suggesting that these cortical ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia-An extinct long-snouted dolphin. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Vocalization Characteristics of the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins (<i>Sousa chinensis</i>) in Xiamen Bay With Insights on Regional Differences. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphin population in Xiamen Bay was divided into two geographically separated but socially associated communities inhabiting the West and East sub‐regions. Based on 3 years of boat‐based surveys, this study established baseline acoustic characteristics and investigated whether vocal patterns varied with habitat conditions ...

Hearing sensation levels of emitted biosonar clicks in an echolocating Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Emitted biosonar clicks and auditory evoked potential (AEP) responses triggered by the clicks were synchronously recorded during echolocation in an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) trained to wear suction-cup EEG electrodes and to detect ...

Noseleaf dynamics during pulse emission in horseshoe bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Horseshoe bats emit their biosonar pulses nasally and diffract the outgoing ultrasonic waves by conspicuous structures that surrounded the nostrils. Here, we report quantitative experimental data on the motion of a prominent component of these structures,
