Do bats change their calls depending on the weather?

10 Jul 2023

Description

Researchers know that bats will alter the calls they use for echolocation depending on their task or environment. In this episode, we talk to Léna de Framond and Holger R. Goerlitz of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology about their research into whether bats from temperate regions, which experiences large variations in temperature and humidity which could affect call attenuation, vary their calls based on weather.Associated paper: Léna de Framond, Verena Reininger, and Holger R. Goerlitz. "Temperate bats may alter calls to partially compensate for weather-induced changes in detection distance."
