Figure 3: Comparison of echolocation emission rates.
From: Suppression of emission rates improves sonar performance by flying bats
Bats (n = 10, +1 SEM), Tadarida brasiliensis, flying in four conditions: a maze of thin ropes with no playback, pairs of bats flying in open space towards each other, a single bat flying with RoboBat in silence and with playback at 40 Hz. RoboBat was a mechanical bat with flapping wings that had the same aspect ratio as T. brasiliensis, but did not echolocate. Conditions with different letters were significantly different according to Tamhane T2 post hoc test. *Indicates significant differences according to repeated measures ANOVA.
