The use of automated identification of bat echolocation calls in acoustic monitoring: A cautionary note for a sound analysis
Bats are a species-rich order of mammals providing key ecosystem services. Because bats
are threatened by human action and also serve as important bioindicators, monitoring their …

Bats are still not birds in the digital era: echolocation call variation and why it matters for bat species identification
The recording and analysis of echolocation calls are fundamental methods used to study bat
distribution, ecology, and behavior. However, the goal of identifying bats in flight from their …

Driving factors for the evolution of species-specific echolocation call design in new world free-tailed bats (Molossidae)
K Jung, J Molinari, EKV Kalko - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Phylogeny, ecology, and sensorial constraints are thought to be the most important factors
influencing echolocation call design in bats. The Molossidae is a diverse bat family with a …

The communicative potential of bat echolocation pulses
G Jones, BM Siemers - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2011 - Springer
Ecological constraints often shape the echolocation pulses emitted by bat species.
Consequently some (but not all) bats emit species-specific echolocation pulses. Because …
