Researchers found that bats use both sight and sound, adjusting speed and call rates in light to hunt prey with greater precision.

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orient themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orientate themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

As darkness falls and the air begins to cool, thousands of bats burst from the narrow mouth of their cave. The sky comes alive with their flapping wings, filling the air like a living liquid. It's a ...

Blind as a bat? Hardly. All bats can see to some degree, and certain species possess prominent eyes and a keen sense of vision. Take the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus). This species is ...

Bat vocal communication encompasses a diverse array of acoustic signals ranging from echolocation pulses that facilitate spatial mapping to complex social calls used in foraging, mating, and ...

"Lots of things fly at night," says Harlan Gough, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Nightfall can set the stage for an acrobatic high-stakes drama in the air — a swirl of ...

I said something similar in another article thread recently, but even though the hypothesis was widely expected to be true, it still represents good science to finally get around to testing it and ...

Bat vocal communication and echolocation represent highly specialised acoustic systems that exhibit remarkable complexity and versatility. Bats employ echolocation as a navigational tool, emitting ...
