TAU researchers unlock the secrets of echolocation's
relationship to vision
Blessed with the power of echolocation — reflected sound —
bats rule the night skies. There are more than 1,000 species of these
echolocating night creatures, compared with just 80 species of non-echolocating
nocturnal birds. And while it seems that echolocation works together with
normal vision to give bats an evolutionary edge, nobody knows exactly how.
