Measured beam patterns of biomimetic receivers improve localisation performance of an ultrasonic sonar [PDF]
, 2017 The Beam Based Method (BBM) is a novel sonar system inspired by bat echolocation for a sonar system with one emitter and two receivers. Knowledge of the beam pattern of the receivers makes it possible to estimate the orientation of a reflecting target ...

What noseleaves do for FM bats depends on their degree of sensorial specialization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Many bats vocalizing through their nose carry a prominent noseleaf that is involved in shaping the emission beam of these animals. To our knowledge, the exact role of these appendages has not been thoroughly investigated as for no single ...

The Vocal Repertoire of Pale Spear-Nosed Bats in a Social Roosting Context
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Commonly known for their ability to echolocate, bats also use a wide variety of social vocalizations to communicate with one another. However, the full vocal repertoires of relatively few bat species have been studied thus far. The present study examined

The aerodynamic cost of head morphology in bats: maybe not as bad as it seems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 At first sight, echolocating bats face a difficult trade-off. As flying animals, they would benefit from a streamlined geometric shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase flight efficiency.
