Complex competition interactions between Egyptian fruit bats and black rats in the real world [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Interspecific interactions, including competition and predation, are key drivers of ecological systems. Understanding these interactions remains challenging in the wild as it requires quantifying their effects, particularly the non-consumptive

An annotated dataset of Egyptian fruit bat vocalizations across varying contexts and during vocal ontogeny. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2017 Animal acoustic communication research depends on our ability to record the vocal behaviour of different species. Only rarely do we have the opportunity to continuously follow the vocal behaviour of a group of individuals of the same species for a long ...

Role of auditory feedback for vocal production learning in the Egyptian fruit bat. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2023 Summary Some species have evolved the ability to use the sense of hearing to modify existing vocalizations, or even create new ones. This ability corresponds to various forms of vocal production learning that are all possessed by humans, and independently displayed by distantly related vertebrates.

Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...
