Japanese horseshoe bats sync echolocation calls to improve hunting efficiency
0
·1 viewsA new study reveals that greater Japanese horseshoe bats actively adjust their echolocation calls to match the frequencies used by fellow colony members. Rather than avoiding overlapping signals, the bats converge on a shared frequency range. This synchronized approach creates a clearer acoustic window, allowing the animals to detect prey more effectively. The finding challenges the assumption that bats would tune away from each other's calls to reduce interference.
