Figure 6


Fig. 6. Anemometer traces of wind generated by an attacking bat as it approaches a mealworm target, captures it, and flies away. Since the anemometer was not directly at the target's location, contact times (arrows) for each trace were predicted based on the one trial when the anemometer was located at the target (see Fig. 7). The examples illustrate the major changes in the anemometer traces as peak velocities increase; see text for details. The anemometer traces indicate that the bat generates a short but strong stimulus as it approaches and captures the target and a longer but weaker stimulus follows as the bat flies away. Scale bars: 50 cm s–1, 500 ms.
