The defensive role of ultrasonic moth clicks against bat predation : a mathematical modeling approach

Includes bibliographical references (p. 161-170). === Some moths emit ultrasonic clicks in response to bat echolocation calls. These clicks are believed to serve as a defence mechanism against bat predation by means of jamming, aposematism or startle. By assessing the characteristics and variation o...
