    Agent-based modeling reveals how bats navigate dense group emergences

    Omer Mazar, Yossi Yovel
    Acoustic jamming during bat emergence is weaker than expected because signal redundancy, echo integration, and simple movement rules enable robust navigation, as demonstrated by an agent‑based sensory-motor model.
