Different species of bats use their sonar in slightly different ways. Scientists are trying to understand how this extraordinary sense is changing the structure of bat skulls. Bats are some of the ...

For a bat to be at the top of its game for echolocation, it needs a good head on its shoulders. Not all bats, though, are the same when it comes to sensing their surroundings in total darkness — some ...

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 ...
