    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat

    Principle of bat echolocation: orange is the call and green is the echo. In low-duty cycle echolocation, bats can separate their calls and returning echoes by time. They have to time their short calls to finish before echoes return. [95] The delay of the returning echoes allows the bat to estimate the range to their prey. [93]

    Bats hunt insects in complete darkness using echolocation, and send out very short, very high frequency calls. They listen for echoes reflected from objects in the surroundings to find and capture ...

  5. Doppler shift compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_shift_compensation

    When an echolocating bat approaches a target, its outgoing sounds return as echoes, which are Doppler shifted upward in frequency. In certain species of bats, which produce constant frequency (CF) echolocation calls, the bats compensate for the Doppler shift by changing their call frequency as they change speed towards a target.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Free-tailed_Bat

    As a nocturnal species, little free-tailed bats primarily rely on echolocation to detect their prey and environment. [4] Since higher frequency of echolocation call attenuates with distance faster than low frequency, this species uses low frequency calls with high intensity, which last longer and thus are suitable for prey detection with long ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechstein's_bat

    Bechstein's bat, Myotis bechsteinii. Bechstein's bat is specialized for inhabiting forested areas, and is rarely found outside of them. It is recorded in mixed forests in southwestern Asia, but European populations prefer deciduous forests with high proportions of old trees. Beech and oak woodlands make up a large portion of the animal's habitat.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_bulldog_bat

    The greater bulldog bat or fisherman bat (Noctilio leporinus) is a species of fishing bat native to Latin America (Spanish: murciélago pescador; Portuguese: morcego-pescador). The bat uses echolocation to detect water ripples made by the fish upon which it preys, then uses the pouch between its legs to scoop the fish up and its sharp claws to ...

  9. Ultrasound avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_avoidance

    Although ultrasonic signals are used for echolocation by toothed whales, no known examples of ultrasonic avoidance in their prey have been found to date. [2] Ultrasonic hearing has evolved multiple times in insects: a total of 19 times. Bats appeared in the Eocene era, (about 50 million years ago); antibat tactics should have evolved then. [3]
