Wild bats briefly decouple sound production from wingbeats to increase sensory flow during prey captures
Summary: Active sensing animals such as echolocating bats produce the energy with which they probe their environment. The intense echolocation calls of bats are energetically expensive, but their cost can be reduced by synchronizing the exhalations needed to vocalize to wingbeats. Here, we use sound...
