Wingtip folds and ripples on saturniid moths create decoy echoes against bat biosonar
, 2021 Sensory coevolution has equipped certain moth species with passive acoustic defenses to counter predation by echolocating bats.1,2 Some large silkmoths (Saturniidae) possess curved and twisted biosonar decoys at the tip of elongated hindwing tails.3,4 ...

Finite element simulation of broadband biosonar signal propagation in the near- and far-field of an echolocating Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
, 2018 © 2018 Author(s). Bottlenose dolphins project broadband echolocation signals for detecting and locating prey and predators, and for spatial orientation. There are many unknowns concerning the specifics of biosonar signal production and propagation in the

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

Numerical study of dynamic noseleaf models in greater horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 Echolocating greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) emit biosonar pulses through nostril. The nostrilis surrounded by sophisticated and delicate appendages, i.e. noseleaf.

Biosonar emission characteristics and beam control of odontocetes
, 2020 Odontocetes have evolved for millions of years to own a unique echolocation system. The exceptional performance of odontocetes echolocation system can provide reference to artificial sonar systems, acoustic metamaterials and sound control designs ...

A biomimetic projector with high subwavelength directivity based on dolphin biosonar
, 2014 Based on computed tomography of a Yangtze finless porpoise's biosonar system, a biomimetic structure was designed to include air cavity, gradient-index material, and steel outer-structure mimicking air sacs, melon, and skull, respectively.

Size constancy in bat biosonar? [PDF]
, 2013 Perception and encoding of object size is an important feature of sensory systems. In the visual system object size is encoded by the visual angle (visual aperture) on the retina, but the aperture depends on the distance of the object. As object distance
