Aerial hawking and landing: approach behaviour in Natterer's bats, Myotis nattereri (Kuhl 1818)
We compared the flight and echolocation behaviour of a vespertilionid bat ( Myotis nattereri ) approaching a large stationary or a small moving target. Bats were trained to either land on a landing grid or to catch a moving tethered mealworm. When closing in on these two targets, the bats emitted gr...
