5 Written Questions
5 Matching Questions
- Bats use 2 additional features of emitted sound
- Constant frequency
- Short broadband; dominant fundamental harmonic
- Narrowband; dominant fundamental harmonic
- Long broadband
- a Myzopodidae
- b Some Vespertilionidae, Molossidae
- c Vespertilioniday (genus Myotis)
- d Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae
- e • fundamental frequencies + harmonics • pulse rate (rate GOES UP as distance GOES DOWN)
5 Multiple Choice Questions
- Mormoopidae, Thyropteridae

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

• longer pulse (5 - 30 ms)
• no frequency modulation
• eg, horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sp)
• computed from
• distance (pulse-echo delay)
• angular size (amplitude)
5 True/False Questions
-
Velocity (absolute and relative to self) → Megadermatidae, Natalidae, Phyllostomidae
-
Brief, broadband tongue clicks → Myzopodidae
-
Bat echolocation →

• computed from two cues, compare echos
• received when
• ears are moved to various positions
• ear flaps in pinnae are opened variably -
Interpulse Interval → time (t)= 1 cycle
-
What kind of target information is obtained through echolocation → • distance
• subtended angles (angular size)
• absolute size
• azimuth (lateral position ~ receiver)
• elevation
• velocity
