This study shows Japanese large-footed bats avoid simultaneous foraging in the same patch, reducing prey-attack rates, and do not favor earlier arrivals, suggesting they leave shared patches to maintain efficiency.

This study shows that maternal retrieval behavior in bats is influenced by tactile pup loss and acoustic signals, with context-dependent responsiveness.

This paper shows bats use Doppler shift compensation to create a silent frequency band for detecting prey by suppressing background noise and enhancing prey signal detection.

The paper shows that Japanese house bat mothers have increased heart rates when hearing calls from their own pups, indicating maternal recognition and emotional response.

This study uses a variational recurrent neural network to show that bat flight trajectories reflect consistent internal policies, revealing structured control strategies in obstacle avoidance.

The paper studies self-organized vocal behavior in bats, finding that simple rules govern frequency adjustments in response to jamming stimuli, reducing echolocation conflicts in groups.

This study shows that infrared laser stimulation of the cochlea can elicit and enhance auditory perception in gerbils, comparable to sound stimuli, and can be used to improve auditory prostheses.

This study evaluates infrared laser stimulation of the cochlea from the outer ear in Mongolian gerbils, showing it can bypass middle ear function and activate the cochlea noninvasively.

This paper introduces a hybrid machine learning method to estimate behavioral states and extract features from low-content animal trajectory data, validated across diverse species and environments.
