Silence and reduced echolocation during flight are associated with social behaviors in male hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus)
Abstract Bats are renowned for their sophisticated echolocation. However, recent research has indicated that bats may be less reliant on echolocation than has long been assumed. To test the hypothesis that bats reduce their use of echolocation to avoid eavesdropping by conspecifics, we deployed mini...
