A History of the Study of Echolocation,is chapter reviews early developments in the field through about 1980: Griffin’s discovery that bats not only use echoes to detect obstacles but also to track flying insects on the wing; research proving that bats use pulse-echo delay to determine target distance; a variety of ingenious early experi

Phylogeny, Genes, and Hearing: Implications for the Evolution of Echolocation in Bats,and move in complete darkness. The evolution of echolocation has fascinated and intrigued scientists for decades and has stimulated many phylogenetic studies to resolve the evolutionary history of bats and laryngeal echolocation. In this chapter, the consensus and conflict regarding bat evolutionary

Prostatism

Ultrasound Production, Emission, and Reception,ved an active sonar system that uses calls for exploring the environment acoustically. In the majority of bats, the larynx produces these echolocation pulses. Echolocation is absent in the family of Old World fruit bats except for one genus, ., which “reinvented” echolocation by producing sonar puls

To Scream or to Listen? Prey Detection and Discrimination in Animal-Eating Bats, same species also take prey from surfaces (substrate gleaning). Innovations in acoustic recording have revealed bats’ high-frequency vocalizations and showed that hawking bats produce calls of greater intensity than calls produced by gleaning bats. In response to bat echolocation calls, many eared

Roles of Acoustic Social Communication in the Lives of Bats,udying communication systems. Recent research in this area has revealed several themes. Males frequently produce social calls and/or songs to attract females for mating purposes. Specific social calls are often produced during aggressive encounters, such as when bats are defending a feeding area or

Guild Structure and Niche Differentiation in Echolocating Bats,red habitat type and foraging mode. Echolocating bats fall into seven guilds, each defined as a group of species that exploits the same class of environmental resources in a similar way. Members of a guild forage under similar ecological conditions and share similar sensory and motor adaptations, so

The Neural Processing of Frequency Modulations in the Auditory System of Bats,) sweeps in the inferior colliculus (IC), the midbrain auditory nucleus that receives the convergent projections from almost all lower auditory nuclei. The chapter has four themes. The first theme is the dominant role that inhibition plays in shaping the response preferences of IC neurons. The secon
