Fast sensory–motor reactions in echolocating bats to sudden changes during the final buzz and prey intercept
Echolocation is an active sense enabling bats and toothed whales to orient in darkness through echo returns from their ultrasonic signals. Immediately before prey capture, both bats and whales emit a buzz with such high emission rates (≥180 Hz) and overall duration so short that its functional signi...

Echolocation is an active sense enabling bats and toothed whales to orient in darkness through echo returns from their ultrasonic signals.
