Animals can gain important information by attending to the signals and cues of other animals in their environment, with acoustic information playing a major role in many taxa. Echolocation call sequences of bats contain information about the identity and behaviour of the sender which is perceptible ...
Explain one or two important ways in which Hughes's history of the discovery of bat echolocation indicates that falsifying hypotheses can be difficult. Echolocation: Echolocation is a mechanism that uses sound reflected the transmitter...
To test this hypothesis, we analyzed echolocation calls of hoary (Lasiurus cinereus) and silver-haired (Lasionycteris noctivagans) bats recorded over 72 nights at a wind energy facility in Southern Alberta, Canada. We recorded calls at 3 heights: 67 m at turbine nacelles, 30 m at ...
