    Echolocating toothed whales use ultra-fast echo-kinetic responses to track evasive prey

    Heather Vance, Peter T Madsen ... Mark Johnson
    Echolocating toothed whales can detect and react to sudden prey movements during close approaches with speeds similar to ultra-fast tracking responses in human vision.

    Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)

    Danuta M Wisniewska, John M Ratcliffe ... Peter T Madsen
    Harbor porpoises dynamically control biosonar field of view as they track and capture prey, focusing the beam through deformations to the melon.

    Dynamic representation of 3D auditory space in the midbrain of the free-flying echolocating bat

    Ninad B Kothari, Melville J Wohlgemuth, Cynthia F Moss
    Neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus of free-flying echolocating bats represent 3D sensory space, and the depth tuning of single neurons is modulated by an animal's active sonar inspection of physical objects in its environment.

    Place recognition using batlike sonar

    Dieter Vanderelst, Jan Steckel ... Marc W Holderied
    Echolocating bats may recognize locations in the environment (and navigate to them) by remembering the specific echo signature of those locations.

    Echolocating bats prefer a high risk-high gain foraging strategy to increase prey profitability

    Laura Stidsholt, Antoniya Hubancheva ... Peter T Madsen
    Greater mouse-eared bats prefer to hunt large ground insects despite high failure rates, but switch to smaller, easily caught flying insects in response to environmental changes.

    Acoustic shadows help gleaning bats find prey, but may be defeated by prey acoustic camouflage on rough surfaces

    Elizabeth L Clare, Marc W Holderied
    Some species of bats hunt for insects that are resting on surfaces by detecting interruptions in the echoes from that surface, suggesting that resting on rough surfaces may help insects to evade detection by echolocation.

    A sensorimotor model shows why a spectral jamming avoidance response does not help bats deal with jamming

    Omer Mazar, Yossi Yovel
    An elaborated bat-predator model shows that even in high bat-densities, bats can successfully catch flying insects and that changing their signals’ frequency is not necessary for dealing with sensory interference.

    Ear pinnae in a neotropical katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) function as ultrasound guides for bat detection

    Christian A Pulver, Emine Celiker ... Fernando Montealegre-Z
    Located in the legs, the miniaturized katydid ears exhibit cuticular pinnae to only capture high-ultrasonic bat echolocation calls, but katydid also hear their own calls using alternative ear paths, which suggest that their ears operate in a colossal frequency range.

    Echolocation: The brain limit

    Alexander J Werth, Joseph E Corbett
    How fast the brain and muscles can respond to information about prey location constrains visual and echolocating predators in similar ways.
