Learn how echolocation has shaped the skulls of bats that emit high-frequency sounds through their mouths and noses.

Bats are some of the most highly specialized mammals to have ever evolved. This includes not only the evolution of active ...

Bats are well known for their ability to “see” with sound, using echolocation to find food and their roosts. Some bats may also conceive a map made of sounds from their home range. This map can help ...

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 ...

Echolocating bats have been found to possess an acoustic cognitive map of their home range, enabling them to navigate over kilometer-scale distances using echolocation alone. Echolocating bats have ...

Bats are nocturnal hunters and use echolocation to orientate themselves by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic sounds in rapid succession and evaluating the calls’ reflections. Yet, they have retained ...

It may sound like a scene from "Nosferatu," but research from the University of East Anglia shows that humans can use bat-like echolocation skills to judge the distance of objects. The new study ...

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 ...
