Evolution: How Bat Biosonar Bests Prey Camouflage [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 The detection of silent, motionless prey sitting directly on leaves has long been considered a task impossible to solve with echolocation alone. Now, a new study has identified a strategy that lets bats do just that - with the help of the leaf.

Clicking in shallow rivers: short-range echolocation of Irrawaddy and Ganges River dolphins in a shallow, acoustically complex habitat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Toothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) use biosonar to navigate their environment and to find and catch prey. All studied toothed whale species have evolved highly directional, high-amplitude ultrasonic clicks suited for long-range echolocation of prey in ...

Harbour Porpoises Are Flexible Predators Displaying Context-Dependent Foraging Behaviours. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study provides the first record of previously undescribed foraging behaviours of harbour porpoises. Our results indicate use of context‐dependent foraging strategies, suggesting that porpoises are flexible predators that use conditional foraging strategies and adapt their behaviour in response to environmental characteristics.

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.

Convergent Evolution of Wingbeat-Powered Anti-Bat Ultrasound in the Microlepidoptera
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Bats and moths provide a textbook example of predator-prey evolutionary arms races, demonstrating adaptations, and counter adaptations on both sides. The evolutionary responses of moths to the biosonar-led hunting strategies of insectivorous bats include

Baseband version of the bat-inspired spectrogram correlation and transformation receiver [PDF]
, 2016 Echolocating bats have evolved an excellent ability to detect and discriminate targets in highly challenging environments. They have had more than 50 million years of evolution to optimise their echolocation system with respect to their surrounding ...
