Group‐hunting is ubiquitous across animal taxa and has received considerable attention in
the context of its functions. By contrast much less is known about the mechanisms by which …

Animals that rely on electrolocation and echolocation for navigation and prey detection
benefit from sensory systems that can operate in the dark, allowing them to exploit sensory …

A number of organisms, including dolphins, bats and electric fish, possess sophisticated
active sensory systems that use self-generated signals (for example, acoustic or electrical …

Although it has been recognized that echolocating bats may experience jamming from the
signals of conspecifics, research on this problem has focused exclusively on time-frequency …

Bat echolocation is primarily used for orientation and foraging but also holds great potential
for social communication. The communicative function of echolocation calls is still largely …

Understanding the impact of human disturbance on wildlife populations is of societal
importance, 1 with anthropogenic noise known to impact a range of taxa, including …

Unshared consensus decision-making processes, in which one or a small number of
