The physical mechanism of beam formation in dolphin’s biosonar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
作为群居的海洋哺乳动物,齿鲸类拥有着与众不同且功能强大的生物声呐系统。其生物声呐系统经过自然界的长期演化和优胜劣汰,性能已高度优化。海豚的回声定位声波能够在百米内探测到厘米级大小的物体,并对毫米级厚度的金属目标做出辨别,此外还能在探测移动目标的时候对其波束特性进行调整,其性能远远优于目前世界上任何的人工声呐。其生物声呐系统卓越的性能引起了世界上声学研究者强烈的兴趣,不但使得齿鲸类生物声呐研究成为近年来生物声学界以及国际海洋声学界的焦点,还成为新型海洋技术开发值得关注的高新科技领域 ...

Auditory opportunity and visual constraint enabled the evolution of echolocation in bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Substantial evidence now supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of bats was nocturnal and capable of both powered flight and laryngeal echolocation.

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Analog VLSI Models of Range-Tuned Neurons in the Bat Echolocation System

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2003
Bat echolocation is a fascinating topic of research for both neuroscientists and engineers, due to the complex and extremely time-constrained nature of the problem and its potential for application to engineered systems.

Hawkmoths Produce Anti-Bat Ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bats and moths have been engaged in aerial warfare for nearly 65 Myr. This arms race has produced a suite of counter-adaptations in moths, including bat-detecting ears.

Neuronal activity underlying vocal production in bats

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 37-54, August 2025.
Bats are known for their highly evolved echolocation and social vocalizations. They have been well studied in terms of auditory processing, but their neural circuits for vocal production are far less understood. This review highlights recent progress in mapping neural activity linked to vocalization in bats.

We Go Signaling Into the Night: Describing an Echolocation Signal of an Unknown Beaked Whale (Cetacea; Ziphiidae) off West Africa

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Beaked whales (Cetacea; Ziphiidae), one of the most diverse families of cetaceans, can be identified by species‐specific, frequency‐modulated echolocation signals. Of the 24 known species of beaked whales, over half have been assigned a unique signal type. A novel echolocation pulse belonging to an unknown beaked whale species was recorded off

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2025.
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...
