5/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe3.Differences in echolocation patterns in #bats may reflect environmental adaptations since call design is influenced by multiple factors, both biotic and abiotic, which consequently results in a more plastic echolocation system for some species.

4/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe3.Interestingly, the five populations of M. molossus recorded showed no overlap between them. We found two echolocation designs for this species: some populations emitted calls with 2 pulses of alternating frequencies, while others emitted calls with 3 pulses.

3/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe3.We found intraspecific variation in the echolocation designs of all 3 🦇 species, mainly determined by the duration of calls. However, there was no direct association between the acoustic variation and the particular habitat structure of the sampling sites.

2/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe3.We recorded #bats in 7 locations in Colombia, all representative of tropical dry forest, to determine if there is acoustic variation between populations of the same species living in the same type of habitat.

1/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe3.Echolocation calls often show high plasticity in many bat species, but the drivers of this plasticity are not fully understood yet. We studied how significant habitat structure may be for instraspecific acoustic variation in 3 🦇 species.
