| maxilloturbinal aids in nasophonation in horseshoe bats (chiroptera: rhinolophidae). | horseshoe bats (family rhinolophidae) show an impressive array of morphological traits associated with use of high duty cycle echolocation calls that they emit via their nostrils (nasophonation). delicate maxilloturbinal bones inside the nasal fossa of horseshoe bats have a unique elongated strand-like shape unknown in other mammals. maxilloturbinal strands also vary considerably in length and cross-sectional shape. in other mammals, maxilloturbinals help direct respired air and prevent respirat ... | 2020 | 30365875 |
| mechanical adaptations for echolocation in the cochlea of the bat hipposideros lankadiva. | the cochlear mechanics of bats with long constant-frequency components in their echolocation calls are sharply tuned to the dominant second harmonic constant frequency. hipposiderid bats employ a shorter constant-frequency call component whose frequency is less stable than in long-constant-frequency bats. to investigate to what degree cochlear mechanics in hipposiderid bats are already specialized for the processing of constant frequencies, we recorded distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in ... | 2000 | 11085639 |

| discrimination of wingbeat motion by bats, correlated with echolocation sound pattern. | bats of the species rhinolophus rouxi, hipposideros lankadiva and eptesicus fuscus were trained to discriminate between two simultaneously presented artificial insect wingbeat targets moving at different wingbeat rates. during the discrimination trials, r. rouxi, h. lankadiva and e. fuscus emitted long-cf/fm, short-cf/fm and fm echolocation sounds respectively. r. rouxi, h. lankadiva and e. fuscus were able to discriminate a difference in wingbeat rate of 2.7 hz, 9.2 hz and 15.8 hz, respectively ... | 1991 | 2046046 |
