How Japanese Horseshoe Bats Solve Noisy Echolocation in Crowded Colonies
When greater Japanese horseshoe bats hunt in crowded colonies, their high-pitched echolocation signals overlap to create background noise, but according to a study published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A by Doshisha University researchers, these bats gradually adjust their calls to share nearly identical frequencies, helping them receive clearer echoes and detect prey.
