Spectral and temporal gating mechanisms enhance the clutter rejection in the echolocating bat, Rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]
, 1991 Doppler shift compensation behaviour in horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus rouxi, was used to test the interference of pure tones and narrow band noise with compensation performance.

Male sperm whale acoustic behavior observed from multipaths at a single hydrophone [PDF]
, 2005 Sperm whales generate transient sounds (clicks) when foraging. These clicks have been described as echolocation sounds, a result of having measured the source level and the directionality of these signals and having extrapolated results from biosonar ...

BMC Biology, 2005 Background Echolocating bats emit vocalizations that can be classified either as echolocation calls or communication calls. Neural control of both types of calls must govern the same pool of motoneurons responsible for vocalizations.

Audition in vampire bats, Desmodus rotundus [PDF]
, 1990 1. Within the tonotopic organization of the inferior colliculus two frequency ranges are well represented: a frequency range within that of the echolocation signals from 50 to 100 kHz, and a frequency band below that of the echolocation sounds, from 10 ...

Unusual echolocation behaviour of the common sword-nosed bat Lonchorhina aurita: an adaptation to aerial insectivory in a phyllostomid bat? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Most insectivorous bat species in the Neotropical family Phyllostomidae glean insects from ground, water or vegetation surfaces. They use similar and stereotypical echolocation calls that are generally very short (less than 1–3 ms), multi-harmonic and ...

The Parallel Architecture in Language and Elsewhere
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The Parallel Architecture is a conception of the organization of the mental representations involved in language and of the role of language in the mind as a whole. Its basic premise is that linguistic representations draw on three independent generative systems—phonological, syntactic, and semantic structures—plus a system of interface links ...

Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and wind farms: a case study in the Dutch North Sea [PDF]
, 2011 The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour porpoise occurrence has been affected by the presence of the Dutch offshore ...

Open‐source workflow approaches to passive acoustic monitoring of bats
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The affordability, storage and power capacity of compact modern recording hardware have evolved passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of animals and soundscapes into a non‐invasive, cost‐effective tool for research and ecological management particularly ...

“What is it like to be a bat?”—a pathway to the answer from the integrated information theory [PDF]
, 2017 What does it feel like to be a bat? Is conscious experience of echolocation closer to that of vision or audition? Or do bats process echolocation nonconsciously, such that they do not feel anything about echolocation?

Atmospheric humidity affects global variation of bat echolocation via indirect effects
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The peak frequency of bat echolocation is a species-specific functional trait linked to foraging ecology. It is tailored via evolution to suit conditions within the distribution range of each species, but the evolutionary drivers are not yet well ...
