Determinants of echolocation call frequency variation in the Formosan lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus monoceros)
The origin and maintenance of intraspecific variation in vocal signals is important for population divergence and speciation. Where vocalizations are transmitted by vertical cultural inheritance, similarity will reflect co-ancestry, and thus vocal divergence should reflect genetic structure. Horseshoe bats are characterized by echolocation calls dominated by a constant frequency component that ...
متن کاملTesting the Sensory Drive Hypothesis: Geographic variation in echolocation frequencies of Geoffroy's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophidae: Rhinolophus clivosus)
Geographic variation in sensory traits is usually influenced by adaptive processes because these traits are involved in crucial life-history aspects including orientation, communication, lineage recognition and mate choice. Studying this variation can therefore provide insights into lineage diversification. According to the Sensory Drive Hypothesis, lineage diversification may be driven by adap...
متن کاملphylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Echolocation in the bat, Rhinolophus capensis: the influence of clutter, conspecifics and prey on call design and intensity
Echolocating bats are exposed not only to the echoes of their own calls, but often the signals of conspecifics and other bats. For species emitting short, frequency modulated signals e.g. vespertilionoids, adjustments in both the frequency and time domain have been observed in such situations. However, bats using long duration, constant frequency calls may confront special challenges, since the...
متن کاملProcessing of acoustic motion in the auditory cortex of the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi
1 Summary This study investigated the representation of acoustic motion in different fields of auditory cortex of the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi. Motion in horizontal direction (azimuth) was simulated using successive stimuli with dynamically changing interaural intensity differences presented via earphones. The mechanisms underlying a specific sensitivity of neurons to the directi...
