2. Discover the World of Bats: 5 Days of Engaging Lesson Plans - AOL

   www.aol.com/discover-world-bats-5-days-150259430...

   The unique use of echolocation to navigate their dark habitats allows bats to detect concealed objects and distinguish prey. Our five-day comprehensive unit plan dives deeper into the magnificent ...

3. Animal echolocation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_echolocation

   The term echolocation was coined by 1944 by the American zoologist Donald Griffin, who, with Robert Galambos, first demonstrated the phenomenon in bats. [1] [2] As Griffin described in his book, [3] the 18th century Italian scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani had, by means of a series of elaborate experiments, concluded that when bats fly at night, they rely on some sense besides vision, but he did ...

4. Bechstein's bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechstein's_bat

   The frequencies used by this bat species for echolocation lie between 35 and 108 kHz. Its echolocation calls have the most energy at 61 kHz, and have an average duration of 3.3 ms. [11] [12] Most of its echolocation is in the 50–60 kHz range.

5. Echolocation jamming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolocation_jamming

   Bats can make this adjustment very rapidly, often in less than 0.2 seconds. [9] Big brown bats can avoid jamming by going silent for periods of time when following another echolocating big brown bat. [10] This sometimes allows the silent bat to capture a prey in competitive foraging situations.

6. Desert long-eared bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_long-eared_bat

   Through echolocation, the bats can detect scorpions as they walk. They feed mostly on arachnids and orthopterans that are seized directly from the ground. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] An Israeli study found that up to 70% of the bat droppings contained scorpion fragments, including the highly venomous Palestine yellow scorpion along with other less venomous ...

7. Doppler shift compensation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_shift_compensation

   When an echolocating bat approaches a target, its outgoing sounds return as echoes, which are Doppler shifted upward in frequency. In certain species of bats, which produce constant frequency (CF) echolocation calls, the bats compensate for the Doppler shift by changing their call frequency as they change speed towards a target.

8. Bat detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_detector

   Some bat calls have components around 20 kHz or even lower and sometimes these can be detected at 2 or 3 times the usual range. However, only the lower frequency components will be detected at a distance. The usable range of bat detectors decreases with humidity and in misty conditions the maximum range can be very low. It is important to ...

9. Greater mouse-eared bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_mouse-eared_bat

   The Greater mouse-eared bat is relatively large for a member of the genus Myotis, weighing up to 45 grams (1.6 oz) and measuring 8 to 9 cm from head to tail (a little larger than a house mouse, Mus musculus), making it one of the largest European bats. [3] It has a 40 cm wingspan, with a forearm length of 6 cm, and a 4 to 5 cm long tail.
