Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use ...

A long-standing mystery about how wild bats navigate complex environments in complete darkness with remarkable precision, has ...

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 ...

(CN) — Bats might not lead the most exciting lives, but they do have one real-life superpower that aids in their evening hunts for insect dinners: echolocation. In a new study published by the ...

Why do researchers think big-eared bats can find hidden insects without having to scrutinize every leaf in a forest?Their ...

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 ...

As darkness falls and the air begins to cool, thousands of bats burst from the narrow mouth of their cave. The sky comes alive with their flapping wings, filling the air like a living liquid. It's a ...

Most bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt, but some use their ears for another trick: eavesdropping. Hunt like a bat! How baby bats learn to eavesdrop on their next meal There are over 1400 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Popular Science highlighted a University of Cincinnati study that used engineering-inspired biology to examine how bats find ...
