摘要: Many species of insectivorous bats (Chiroptera) use echolocation to find their prey and avoid obstacles flight (Griffin 1958). An echolocating bat emits sonar sounds in the frequency range from 10 over 100 kHz perceives objects echoes these returning its ears (Novick 1977, Schnitzler Henson 1980). In process avoiding collisions with or capturing flying insects, must gather various different kinds information about targets, nature signals which at stages behaviors reflects that is interested gathering (Simmons et al. 1975, 1979, Simmons Stein For example, emitted by a searching for insect are often quite determine location identity target already has been detected.
