| support for the allotonic frequency hypothesis in an insectivorous bat community. | the allotonic frequency hypothesis proposes that certain insectivorous bat species can prey upon moths that can hear bat echolocation calls by using echolocation frequencies outside the sensitivity range of moth ears. the hypothesis predicts that the peak frequencies of bat echolocation calls are correlated with the incidence of moths in the diets of these bats. the aim of this study was to test this prediction on a bat community dominated by bats using low duty cycle echolocation calls, i.e. ae ... | 2003 | 12647192 |
