Echolocating Whales and Bats Express the Motor Protein Prestin in the Inner Ear: A Potential Marker for Hearing Loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Prestin is an integral membrane motor protein located in outer hair cells of the mammalian cochlea. It is responsible for electromotility and required for cochlear amplification.

First At‐Sea Identifications of Ginkgo‐Toothed Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon ginkgodens): Acoustics, Genetics, and Biological Observations Off Baja California, México

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2024, an expedition was conducted off northwestern Baja California, México, to find and identify the beaked whale species that produced the BW43 echolocation pulse previously recorded in this area and elsewhere in the North Pacific. There were five Mesoplodon sightings and 21 BW43 acoustic detections on both a towed array and drifting pole ...

An Echolocation Training Package [PDF]

open access: yesVision Rehabilitation International, 2011
The phenomenon of echolocation or using sonar to navigate the environment has been widely studied, though rarely taught to individuals who are blind or vision impaired (Kish 2003). This paper describes the essential content of an echolocation training package designed to assist orientation and mobility (O&M) instructors teach clients echolocation ...

Autonomous Vehicle Ultrasonic Sensor Vulnerability and Impact Assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

From Understory to Canopy: In situ Behavior of Neotropical Forest Katydids in Response to Bat Echolocation Calls

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Predator-prey interactions take place in complex environments, and research on the sensory ecology of predator-detection relies on understanding when, where, and how prey experience and respond to predator cues.

A Comparison of Diving Behavior of Goose‐Beaked and Dense‐Beaked Whales From Tagging Studies in Multiple Ocean Basins

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies of cetacean diving behavior in multiple locations in different ocean basins allow for an assessment of variability within and among populations. We examine foraging dive behaviors of goose‐beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) and dense‐beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) using data from 132 tagged whales in seven locations in the ...

A Bayesian method to estimate the depth and the range of phonating sperm whales using a single hydrophone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Some bioacousticians have used a single hydrophone to calculate the depth/range of phonating diving animals. The standard one-hydrophone localization method uses multipath transmissions (direct path, sea surface, and seafloor reflections) of the animal ...

Process and individuation (on speculative realism and becoming)

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent developments in the continental tradition have taken a realist turn that reveals an oscillation between, on the one hand, an ontology of virtuality that thinks of reality as process and continuum (albeit a continuum of differences or events) and, on the other hand, the resurgence of an ontology of objects and essences guided by the ...

The fourth‐dimensional ontology of sankofa epistemology

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Debates about the metaphysical and ontological status of the principles of noncontradiction, excluded middle, identity, sufficient reason, and the identity of indiscernibles raise logical and substantive issues of interest in Western philosophy.
