Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly sophisticated behavior that requires precise, split-second decision making on ...

Some species of European bats are known to attack birds as they migrate to Africa. However, they must trap them while in flight: a hard task for such small predators. The behaviour has previously been ...

Researchers made a robot bat that demonstrates how real bats use echolocation to find prey at night, contributing to the fields of biology, engineering, and robotics.

A long-standing mystery about how wild bats navigate complex environments in complete darkness with remarkable precision, has ...

To exploit a rich food resource that remains largely inaccessible to most predators, Europe’s largest bat captures, kills, and consumes nocturnally migrating birds in flight high above the ground, ...

Europe’s largest bat species, the greater noctule (Nyctalus lasiopterus), has been caught red-handed terrorising songbirds in the night sky above southern Spain. High-resolution biologging tags ...
