Ranging in human sonar: effects of additional early reflections and exploratory head movements.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many blind people rely on echoes from self-produced sounds to assess their environment. It has been shown that human subjects can use echolocation for directional localization and orientation in a room, but echo-acoustic distance perception--e.g.

Autonomous Vehicle Ultrasonic Sensor Vulnerability and Impact Assessment [PDF]
, 2018 Vehicles today are relying more on technologies to bring about fully autonomous features. The conventional wirings within are being simplified into a network of electronic components, and this network is controlled via advanced sensing of the environment

The ecology of attraction: Fruit traits and frugivore diversity in neotropical Piper
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 611-623, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits can benefit plant reproduction by enhancing seed dispersal by mutualistic frugivores (e.g. seed dispersal syndromes), but identifying the role of specific fruit traits in mediating frugivory is challenging because these traits can serve multiple functions ...

Kalman Filter for Noise Reduction in Aerial Vehicles using Echoic Flow [PDF]
, 2020 Echolocation is a natural phenomenon observed in bats that allows them to navigate complex, dim environments with enough precision to capture insects in midair.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 331-342, March 2026.The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.

It’s not black or white - on the range of vision and echolocation in echolocating bats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Around 1000 species of bats in the world use echolocation to navigate, orient and detect insect prey. Many of these bats emerge from their roost at dusk and start foraging when there is still light available.

BSG‐BATS: An open‐source data annotation portal and classifier for European bat vocalizations
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 718-726, March 2026.Abstract Bats are ecologically important mammals whose monitoring increasingly relies on acoustic data. However, many tools for bat call identification remain subscription‐based, closed‐source, region‐specific or limited in scalability, creating barriers to global data integration and method development.

ESPERDYNE: A dual‐band heterodyne monitor and ultrasound recorder for bioacoustic field surveys
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 768-777, March 2026.Abstract Background. Ultrasonic monitoring is essential for ecological studies of bats and other animals, yet high‐performance field devices remain prohibitively expensive and inaccessible—particularly in biodiversity‐rich regions with limited research infrastructure.

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 765-785, 1 March 2026.Abstract High‐resolution movement data from Cuvier's beaked, or goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, hereafter Ziphius, n = 8) tag deployments (4.1–19.2 days) were used to estimate blood and tissue O2 and CO2 levels. Acceleration and magnetometry data were used to estimate the locomotion cost (LC) from the relationship between activity and the O2 ...
