Bats expand their vocal range by recruiting different laryngeal structures for echolocation and social communication

PLoS Biology, 2022
Echolocating bats produce very diverse vocal signals for echolocation and social communication that span an impressive frequency range of 1 to 120 kHz or 7 octaves.

Vocal mechanisms in birds and bats: a comparative view

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2004
Vocal signals play a very important role in the life of both birds and echolocating bats, but these two unrelated groups of flying vertebrates have very different vocal systems.

A perspective on bats (Chiroptera)

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2013
With over 130 species, bats are the most diverse group of mammals almost everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2000, two books (Monadjem et al. 2010; Taylor 2000) have made it much easier to appreciate this reality.

Directional Sensitivity of Echolocation System in Bats Producing Frequency-Modulated Signals [PDF]

, 1973
1. Radiation patterns of the 55, 75 and 95 kHz components in frequency-modulated sounds emitted by the grey bat (Myotis grisescens) were studied. FM sounds similar to species-specific orientation sounds were elicited by electrical stimuli applied to the ...

Long-term and persistent vocal plasticity in adult bats. [PDF]

, 2019
Bats exhibit a diverse and complex vocabulary of social communication calls some of which are believed to be learned during development. This ability to produce learned, species-specific vocalizations - a rare trait in the animal kingdom - requires a ...

Daubenton’s bats maintain stereotypical echolocation behaviour and a lombard response during target interception in light

BMC Zoology
Most bats hunt insects on the wing at night using echolocation as their primary sensory modality, but nevertheless maintain complex eye anatomy and functional vision.

Echoes through time: amazing inferences from a fossil bat

BMC Zoology
Sister to the Chiroptera crown-clade, the 50 million year old Vielasia sigei is suggested to have used laryngeal echolocation based on morphometric analyses.
