For over 60 years, researchers have wondered why the nose of the Bourret's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus paradoxolophus) is so abnormally large for the animal's size. In a new scientific study that saw the participation of Virginia Tech faculty members, it was proven that the bat actually developed its nose no... |

The US Navy and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) environmental organization came to a settlement in their lawsuit, which the group, supported by other similar organizations, filed against the military, in an attempt to force the removal of mid-frequency sonar waves from routine naval exercises. About a mo... |

Orcas, like most whales, have the innate ability to use high-frequency sounds in order to detect obstacles or food in the water, or for communicating among themselves over long distances. Now, researchers in Hawaii seem to believe that the large animals can also use this ability to spot their favorite types of fish i... |

Waters off the coast of California have been used by the Navy for exercise and simulation purposes for over 40 years, until recently, when environmentalist groups got lower federal courts in the state to limit or even eliminate the use of sonars in some areas. However, the Supreme Court concluded that there was no ev... |

The evolution of bats is still a mystery, as the fragile flying mammals have left few fossils behind. A new study published in the journal "Nature" describes the oldest bat ever and what the fossil has revealed: bats first flew, and after that they developed echolocation. "This new bat [fossil] is clearly a flying an... |

Human ear cannot detect sounds that have frequencies lower than 20 Hz (infrasounds) or over 20 kHz (called ultrasounds). That's why some species may appear quite silent for us, while in fact they are very noisy... We only lack their hearing to figure this out.1.Dolphins and toothed whales are famous for their so... |

1.The first cetacean was Pakicetus, which lived 55 million years ago. It was a shore animal with well-developed four limbs. The first dolphins (and toothed whales) are considered the Squalodontidae, which lived 33 to 15 MA years ago. They were 3 m (10 ft) long and had large teeth. There are 32 dolphin species. The sm... |

Humans see with their eyes, dogs are said to "smell" things and bats literally see with their ears. The little flying mammals have a complex sonar, employing ultrasounds (sounds with a frequency over 20 kHz, which cannot be heard by the human ear). Bats employ the sonar especially when hunting and flying through cave... |

Those bat species that emit ultrasounds to spot prey and avoid obstacles present a high variation in the FOXP2 gene, pointing that mutations in the gene boosted the evolution of the bat sonar. The protein encoded by FOXP2 appears to control coordination between mouth muscles and speech. In 2001, it was connected to s... |

Biologists got alarmed when the killer whales (orcas) of Washington State's Puget Sound started disappearing. Using high technology supersensitive microphones, Ken Balcomb has been eavesdropping on the region's resident killer whales. Unlike migratory orcas, these ones spend their whole lives among sounds.... |
