  5. Long broadband
  1. a Myzopodidae
  2. b Some Vespertilionidae, Molossidae
  3. c Vespertilioniday (genus Myotis)
  4. d Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae
  5. e • fundamental frequencies + harmonics • pulse rate (rate GOES UP as distance GOES DOWN)

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. Mormoopidae, Thyropteridae

  2. • short pulse (<5 ms)
    • range of frequencies (100 Hz - 25 kHz)
    • eg, big brown bat (Eptesicus)
  3. time (t)= 1 cycle

  4. • longer pulse (5 - 30 ms)
    • no frequency modulation
    • eg, horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sp)

  5. • computed from
    • distance (pulse-echo delay)
    • angular size (amplitude)

5 True/False Questions

  1. Velocity (absolute and relative to self)Megadermatidae, Natalidae, Phyllostomidae

          

  2. Brief, broadband tongue clicksMyzopodidae

          

  3. Bat echolocation
    • computed from two cues, compare echos
    • received when
    • ears are moved to various positions
    • ear flaps in pinnae are opened variably

          

  4. Interpulse Intervaltime (t)= 1 cycle

          

  5. What kind of target information is obtained through echolocation• distance
    • subtended angles (angular size)
    • absolute size
    • azimuth (lateral position ~ receiver)
    • elevation
    • velocity
