Bats navigate cluttered environments by interpreting patterns in echo changes—known as acoustic flow velocity—rather than analyzing individual echoes. Experiments show bats adjust their speed based on ...
A long-standing mystery about how wild bats navigate complex environments in complete darkness with remarkable precision, has been solved in a new University of Bristol-led study. The findings are ...

A trained hawk carried sensors through a swarm of hundreds of thousands of bats, recording data that helped researchers figure out how the flying mammals manage to pick out their own high-pitched ...
A fossil found in Wyoming has apparently resolved a long-standing question about when bats gained their radar-like ability to navigate and locate airborne insects at night. The answer: after they ...
Bats are some of the most highly specialized mammals to have ever evolved. This includes not only the evolution of active flight, but also their echolocation. This ability requires the bats to produce ...
Bats flying around your home at night may signal a healthy ecosystem. These nocturnal mammals help control insects, pollinate ...
We all know that bats are masters of the night, with their high-pitched calls and whisper-quiet wings, weaving through tangled trees and swooping in on insects in total darkness. But exactly how they ...
