Echolocation in humans: an overview [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2016 Bats and dolphins are known for their ability to use echolocation. They emit bursts of sounds and listen to the echoes that bounce back to detect the objects in their environment. What is not as well‐known is that some blind people have learned to do the same thing, making mouth clicks, for example, and using the returning echoes from those clicks to ...

Echolocation in Oilbirds and swiftlets [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 The discovery of ultrasonic bat echolocation prompted a wide search for other animal biosonar systems, which yielded, among few others, two avian groups. One, the South American Oilbird (Steatornis caripensis: Caprimulgiformes), is nocturnal and eats fruit.

When echolocating bats do not echolocate [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2008 Echolocating bats are known to continuously generate high frequency sonar pulses and listen to the reflecting echoes to localize objects and orient in the environment. However, silent behavior has been reported in a recent paper, which demonstrated that the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) can fly a relative long distant (0.6 to 8 m) without ...

Clicking in Shallow Rivers : Short-Range Echolocation of Irrawaddy and Ganges River Dolphins in a Shallow, Acoustically Complex Habitat [PDF]
, 2013 Toothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) use biosonar to navigate their environment and to find and catch prey. All studied toothed whale species have evolved highly directional, high-amplitude ultrasonic clicks suited for long-range echolocation of prey in ...

Biomimetic echolocation with application to radar and sonar sensing [PDF]
, 2014 Nature provides a number of examples where acoustic echolocation is the primary sensing modality, the most well-known of these being the bat, whale and dolphin. All demonstrate a remarkable ability to "see with sound".

Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]
, 2008 Bats are capable of imaging their surroundings in great detail using echolocation. To apply similar methods to human engineering systems requires the capability to measure and recreate the signals used, and to understand the processing applied to ...

Sensory trait variation in an echolocating bat suggests roles for both selection and plasticity [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Across heterogeneous environments selection and gene flow interact to influence the rate and extent of adaptive trait evolution. This complex relationship is further influenced by the rarely considered role of phenotypic plasticity in the ...
