Driving factors for the evolution of species-specific echolocation call design in new world free-tailed bats (molossidae).
Phylogeny, ecology, and sensorial constraints are thought to be the most important factors influencing echolocation call design in bats. The Molossidae is a diverse bat family with a majority of species restricted to tropical and subtropical regions. Most molossids are specialized to forage for inse...
