Scientists have finally cracked the code on how bats fly through dense forests without crashing. This discovery of sound flow ...

A new study published in the journal Science reveals that Kuhl's pipistrelle bats can navigate over long distances using echolocation and vision. The research describes how these bats can identify ...

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 ...
