Toothed whales use sound to find their way around, detect objects, and catch fish. They can investigate their environment by making clicking sounds, and then decoding the "echoic return signal" ...

Bats and toothed whales are distant groups, yet both have independently developed the ability to perceive their environment through echolocation.

The work, according to the team lead, demonstrates strong potential of AI technology in resolving complex biological issues.

Echolocation lets animals use sound as a guide in places where vision fails. They send out clicks, chirps, or taps and interpret the returning echoes to find prey, avoid danger, or move confidently in ...

Cetacean ecology is underpinned by complex behavioural, physiological and environmental interactions that shape the distribution, communication and foraging strategies of these marine mammals.
