Bats use leaves as mirrors to find their prey in the dark
Agosto 09, 2019
Bats can find motionless insects on leaves in the dark. This was thought to be impossible, because the acoustic camouflage provided by the leaves should confuse their echolocation system. Inga Geipel and colleagues discovered how they overcome this problem.
Night hunters
Bats use private and social information as they hunt
Octubre 04, 2019
As some of the most savvy and sophisticated predators out there, bats eavesdrop on their prey and even on other bats to collect a wide variety of information about their prey.
