A comparative study of the physiological properties of the inner ear in Doppler shift compensating bats (Rhinolophus rouxi and Pteronotus parnellit) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Cochlear microphonic (CM) and evoked neural (N-1) potentials were studied in two species of Doppler shift compensating bats with the aid of electrodes chronically implanted in the scala tympani.

Single-click beam patterns suggest dynamic changes to the field of view of echolocating Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis) in the wild [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Male sperm whale acoustic behavior observed from multipaths at a single hydrophone [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Spike Train Similarity Space (SSIMS) Method Detects Effects of Obstacle Proximity and Experience on Temporal Patterning of Bat Biosonar

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Bats emit biosonar pulses in complex temporal patterns that change to accommodate dynamic surroundings. Efforts to quantify these patterns have included analyses of inter-pulse intervals, sonar sound groups, and changes in individual signal parameters ...

The Sonar Model for Humpback Whale Song Revised

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Adaptive Echolocation and Flight Behaviors in Bats Can Inspire Technology Innovations for Sonar Tracking and Interception

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Target tracking and interception in a dynamic world proves to be a fundamental challenge faced by both animals and artificial systems. To track moving objects under natural conditions, agents must employ strategies to mitigate interference and conditions

Evolution: How Bat Biosonar Bests Prey Camouflage [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Disproportionate Frequency Representation in the Inferior Colliculus of Doppler-Compensating Greater Horseshoe Bats. Evidence for an Acoustic Fovea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
1. The inferior colliculus of 8 Greater Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinun) was systematically sampled with electrode penetrations covering the entire volume of the nucleus. The best frequencies and intensity thresholds for pure tones (Fig.
