Fig. 1. Parameter functions for three gleaning echolocation call sequences of an
individual M. septentrionalis. (A) Attack on non-arctiid moth; (B)
attack on muted C. tenera; (C) attack on intact C. tenera.
Duration = call duration. Duty cycle = duration/period. Modulation cycle (open
triangles) indicates the onset of the first click of each tymbal modulation
cycle. Broken lines represent the bat's initial contact with the trellis and
the bat taking off from the trellis (estimated from spectrograms). In A, the
bat did not produce calls detected by our microphone from just prior to
contact with the trellis, as expected, or as it flew away, perhaps due to the
moth in its mouth.
