Sensory biology: listening in the dark for echoes from silent and stationary prey.

Gareth Jones1.   

Abstract

New research shows how bats use echolocation unexpectedly to detect silent and stationary prey in darkness. Bats may use acoustic search images to identify potential prey when prey-generated noises, visual and olfactory cues are absent.
