Biosonar

Two groups of animals, bats and odonetes (toothed whales), have independently developed the ability to orient and detect prey by biosonar (echolocation). This active mechanism of orientation allows these animals to operate under low light conditions. Biosonar is a conceptual overview of what is known about biosonar in bats and odonetes. Chapters are written by bat and odonetes experts, resulting in collaborations that not only examine data on both animals, but also compare and contrast mech...
