Variation in echolocation call emission of Neotropical insect-eating bats in response to shifting ambient temperatures

This study examines how Neotropical insect-eating bats adjust their echolocation calls in response to temperature changes, finding variable adjustments in call parameters but not peak frequency.

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

The paper quantifies the foraging strategies of greater mouse-eared bats, showing they capture more energy from ground prey despite lower success rates due to higher prey biomass.

Light might suppress both types of sound-evoked anti-predator flight in moths

This study investigates how light affects two types of sound-evoked anti-predator flight in moths, finding no significant effect of light on the number of moths caught.

Individual differences show that only some bats can cope with noise-induced masking and distraction.

The paper tests how individual bats respond to noise by measuring echolocation changes, finding that only some can cope with noise-induced masking and distraction.

Active sensing in groups: (what) do bats hear in the sonar cocktail party nightmare?

This paper quantifies echo detection in echolocating bats flying in groups, showing they can detect neighbors up to group sizes of 100 bats.

Species-specific strategies increase unpredictability of escape flight in eared moths

The paper quantifies evasive flight variability in eight eared moth species, confirming increased unpredictability in mixed-species groups enhances predator protection.
