Biosonar behaviour of free-ranging porpoises [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 Detecting objects in their paths is a fundamental perceptional function of moving organisms. Potential risks and rewards, such as prey, predators, conspecifics or non-biological obstacles, must be detected so that an animal can modify its behaviour accordingly.

Biosonar discrimination of fine surface textures by echolocating free-tailed bats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Echolocating bats are able to discriminate between different surface textures based on the spectral properties of returning echoes. This capability is likely to be important for recognizing prey and for finding suitably perching sites along smooth cave ...

Male sperm whale acoustic behavior observed from multipaths at a single hydrophone [PDF]
, 2005 Sperm whales generate transient sounds (clicks) when foraging. These clicks have been described as echolocation sounds, a result of having measured the source level and the directionality of these signals and having extrapolated results from biosonar ...

Acoustic behavior of melon-headed whales varies on a diel cycle. [PDF]
, 2015 Many terrestrial and marine species have a diel activity pattern, and their acoustic signaling follows their current behavioral state. Whistles and echolocation clicks on long-term recordings produced by melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) at ...

Object localization using a biosonar beam: how opening your mouth improves localization [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Determining the location of a sound source is crucial for survival. Both predators and prey usually produce sound while moving, revealing valuable information about their presence and location.

Single-click beam patterns suggest dynamic changes to the field of view of echolocating Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis) in the wild [PDF]
, 2015 The study was funded by frame grants from the Danish Natural Science Foundation to P.T.M. and M.W., and by the National Oceanographic Partnership Programme via a research agreement between La Laguna University (N.A.d.S.) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic ...

The Sonar Model for Humpback Whale Song Revised
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Why do humpback whales sing? This paper considers the hypothesis that humpback whales may use song for long range sonar. Given the vocal and social behavior of humpback whales, in several cases it is not apparent how they monitor the movements of distant
