Systematics and taxonomy are the backbone of all components of biology and ecology, yet
cryptic species present a major challenge for accurate species identification. This is …

The echolocation sounds of Japanese CF–FM bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum nippon)
were measured while the bats pursued a moth (Goniocraspidum pryeri) in a flight chamber …

Bat echolocation is an ability consisting of many subtasks such as navigation, prey detection
and object recognition. Understanding the echolocation capabilities of bats comes down to …

Even though they live in quite different habitats, many bats, a few birds, and a number of
marine mammals, including dolphins, rely on biosonar for navigation and foraging for food …

At first sight, echolocating bats face a difficult trade-off. As flying animals, they would benefit
from a streamlined geometric shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase flight …

Many bat species, eg, in the rhinolophid and hipposiderid families, have dynamic biosonar
systems with highly mobile pinnae. Pinna motion patterns have been shown to fall into two …

In this paper we present a flexible low-cost sonar sensor platform that can be used for a wide
range of biomimetic sonar experiments and autonomous sonar navigation targeted at …

Abstract Background Family Rhinolophidae (horseshoe bats), Hipposideridae (leaf-nosed
bats) and Rhinonycteridae (trident bats) are exclusively distributed in the Old-World, and …

Rhinolophidae, a family of echolocating bats, feature very baroque noseleaves that are
assumed to shape their emission beam. Zhuang & Muller (Zhuang & Muller 2006 Phys. Rev …

Rhinolophidae or Horseshoe bats emit long and narrowband calls. Fluttering insect prey
generates echoes in which amplitude and frequency shifts are present, ie glints. These glints …
