Call adjustments help bats keep their echolocation signals distinct, study finds
Researchers from the University of Toyama, Doshisha University, Nagoya University and Meiji University studied 11 eastern bent-winged bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and found that the animals adjust the frequency of their echolocation calls when exposed to interfering sounds, creating a collective pattern that reduces signal jamming during group flight.
