2. 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.

3. Bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat

   Principle of bat echolocation: orange is the call and green is the echo. In low-duty cycle echolocation, bats can separate their calls and returning echoes by time. They have to time their short calls to finish before echoes return. [95] The delay of the returning echoes allows the bat to estimate the range to their prey. [93]

4. 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 ...

5. Western mastiff bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_mastiff_bat

   The body mass of this species can range from 45 to 73 g (1.6 to 2.6 oz). [8] A defining characteristic is its large ears that range between 1.4 to 1.85 in (3.6 to 4.7 cm) and extend over the bat's snout. It also has large forearms with a length of 2.9 to 3.3 in (7.4 to 8.4 cm). [8]

6. Megabat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabat

   Megabats are the only family of bats incapable of laryngeal echolocation. It is unclear whether the common ancestor of all bats was capable of echolocation, and thus echolocation was lost in the megabat lineage, or multiple bat lineages independently evolved the ability to echolocate (the superfamily Rhinolophoidea and the suborder ...

7. Ultrasound avoidance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_avoidance

   Although ultrasonic signals are used for echolocation by toothed whales, no known examples of ultrasonic avoidance in their prey have been found to date. [2] Ultrasonic hearing has evolved multiple times in insects: a total of 19 times. Bats appeared in the Eocene era, (about 50 million years ago); anti-bat tactics should have evolved then. [3]

8. Australonycteris - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australonycteris

   Australonycteris clarkae, one of the earliest bats in the fossil record, is known from several upper and lower teeth, an edentulous lower-jaw fragment, a partial periotic bone, and several postcranial fragments. It has a forearm length of 40–45 millimetres (1.6–1.8 in), making it a medium-size bat species, and it could echolocate.

9. Leaf-nosed bat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf-nosed_bat

   They range in size from 4.0 to 13.5 cm (1.6 to 5.3 in) in head-body length, and can weigh from 7 to 200 g (0.25 to 7.05 oz). Most roost in fairly small groups within caves, animal burrows, or hollow trees, although some species aggregate in colonies of several hundred individuals. [ 3 ]
