The Oilbird: Hearing and Echolocation

Science, 1979
Oilbirds can navigate in total darkness by echolocation. The sound energy in their sonar cries is unevenly distributed over the range from about 1 to 15 kilohertz, with a dominant frequency range of 1.5 to 2.5 kilohertz. This corresponds to the most sensitive range of their hearing as determined by neurophysiological methods.

Echolocation

Resonance, 1996
Bats are capable of avoiding obstacles that they encounter, even in complete darkness. This is because they emit ultrasound (high frequency sound) and analyse the echo produced when the sound hits objects on their path. This article describes the hunting flight of bats and how echolocation is useful in prey capture.

Propagation of beluga echolocation signals

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1987
The propagation characteristics of high-frequency echolocation signals (peak energies above 100 kHz) of the beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) were measured while the animal performed a target detection task. The whale was trained to station on a bite plate so that its transmission beam could be measured in the vertical and horizontal planes using ...

Reinforcement of the larynx and trachea in echolocating and non‐echolocating bats

Journal of Anatomy, 2020
AbstractThe synchronization of flight mechanics with respiration and echolocation call emission by bats, while economizing these behaviors, presumably puts compressive loads on the cartilaginous rings that hold open the respiratory tract. Previous work has shown that during postnatal development of Artibeus jamaicensis (Phyllostomidae), the onset of ...

Neurobiology of echolocation in bats

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003
Echolocating bats (sub-order: Microchiroptera) form a highly successful group of animals, comprising approximately 700 species and an estimated 25% of living mammals. Many echolocating bats are nocturnal predators that have evolved a biological sonar system to orient and forage in three-dimensional space.

The evolution of echolocation in bats

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Recent molecular phylogenies have changed our perspective on the evolution of echolocation in bats. These phylogenies suggest that certain bats with sophisticated echolocation (e.g. horseshoe bats) share a common ancestry with non-echolocating bats (e.g. Old World fruit bats).

Audition in echolocating bats

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993
Abstract In bat audition, major advances have been made concerning the frequency tuning in the bats' cochlea, cortical maps and the related subcortical echo information processing, and the perceptual mechanisms creating auditory images.
