active sensing

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Task-dependent vocal adjustments to optimize biosonar-based information acquisition
    Daniel Lewanzik, Holger R. Goerlitz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb234815 doi: 10.1242/jeb.234815 Published 7 January 2021

    Summary: Having the right information for a specific job is crucial. Echolocating bats flexibly and independently adjust different call parameters to match the sensory-motor challenges of four different tasks.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Echolocating bats inspect and discriminate landmark features to guide navigation
    Chao Yu, Jinhong Luo, Melville Wohlgemuth, Cynthia F. Moss
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb191965 doi: 10.1242/jeb.191965 Published 17 April 2019

    Summary: The echolocating bat controls the directional aim and temporal patterning of sonar calls to inspect and discriminate objects in a spatial navigation task.

  • REVIEW
    Sensing in a noisy world: lessons from auditory specialists, echolocating bats
    Aaron J. Corcoran, Cynthia F. Moss
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4554-4566; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163063

    Summary: Researchers use echolocating bats – with their adaptations for sound production and reception – as models for understanding how animals sense and communicate in noisy environments.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Echo-acoustic scanning with noseleaf and ears in phyllostomid bats
    Kathrin Kugler, Lutz Wiegrebe
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2816-2824; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160309

    Highlighted Article: Echolocating bats move their noseleaf (for sound emission) and their ears for fast and directed echo-acoustic exploration of their surroundings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Enhanced sensory sampling precedes self-initiated locomotion in an electric fish
    James J. Jun, André Longtin, Leonard Maler
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3615-3628; doi: 10.1242/jeb.105502
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    The evolution of active vibrissal sensing in mammals: evidence from vibrissal musculature and function in the marsupial opossum Monodelphis domestica
    Robyn A. Grant, Sebastian Haidarliu, Natalie J. Kennerley, Tony J. Prescott
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 3483-3494; doi: 10.1242/jeb.087452
  • LOCOMOTION AND SENSING OF WEAKLY ELECTRIC FISH
    Sensory flow shaped by active sensing: sensorimotor strategies in electric fish
    Volker Hofmann, Juan I. Sanguinetti-Scheck, Silke Künzel, Bart Geurten, Leonel Gómez-Sena, Jacob Engelmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 2487-2500; doi: 10.1242/jeb.082420
