High duty cycle to low duty cycle: echolocation behaviour of the hipposiderid bat Coelops frithii.

Laryngeally echolocating bats avoid self-deafening (forward masking) by separating pulse and echo either in time using low duty cycle (LDC) echolocation, or in frequency using high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation.
