Environmental correlates of geographic divergence in a phenotypic trait: A case study using bat echolocation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3251
Abstract: Abstract Divergence in phenotypic traits may arise from the interaction of different evolutionary forces, including different kinds of selection (e.g., ecological), genetic drift, and phenotypic plasticity. Sensory systems play an important role in survival and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hipo.23407
Abstract: A growing body of research details spatial representation in bat hippocampus, and experiments have yet to explore hippocampal neuron responses to sonar signals in animals that rely on echolocation for spatial navigation. To bridge this… read more here.

Bat echolocation plasticity in allopatry: a call for caution in acoustic identification of Pipistrellus sp.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-03002-7
Abstract: Animals modify their behaviours and interactions in response to changing environments. In bats, environmental adaptations are reflected in echolocation signalling that is used for navigation, foraging and communication. However, the extent and drivers of echolocation… read more here.

Different as night and day: wild bats modify echolocation in complex environments when visual cues are present

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.07.025
Abstract: Many animals rely on the integration of senses to interact with their environment. While most studies on multisensory integration focus on animals that use passive sensing, fewer studies have investigated actively sensing animals, such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apacoust.2018.04.018
Abstract: Abstract The active sensing and perception of the environment by auditory means is typically known as echolocation and it can be acquired by humans, who can profit from it in the absence of vision. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apacoust.2020.107214
Abstract: Human echolocation describes how people, often blind, use reflected sounds to obtain information abouttheir ambient world. Using auditory models for three perceptual variables, loudness, pitch and ... read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.07.074
Abstract: A new study demonstrates that soft-furred tree mice orientate by using echolocation, emitting ultrasonic broadband chirps. Remarkable convergent evolution with distantly related bats and dolphins in ear bone morphology and sensory genes is evident. read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.049
Abstract: Echolocation allows bats to navigate in complete darkness. Yet, some bats also have keen eyesight. A new study shows that bats integrate these sensory modalities, even when light abundance would make it possible for them… read more here.

Functional daylight echolocation in highly visual bats

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.075
Abstract: Bats rely on echolocation for operating in dim light or dark conditions. Accordingly, most research on echolocation is performed under dark conditions with a few exceptions. Bat species that emerge to forage before sunset have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97628-2
Abstract: Bats are renowned for their sophisticated echolocation. However, recent research has indicated that bats may be less reliant on echolocation than has long been assumed. To test the hypothesis that bats reduce their use of… read more here.

Abstract: Passive acoustic monitoring records large amounts of acoustic data, and thus an efficient detection method is essential to analyse these data. A novel approach is proposed to automatically detect odontocete echolocation clicks. A time–frequency filter… read more here.
