... that the challenge of using both passive and active listening together delays the predator's prey localization ( Barber et al., 2003 ). Future studies will examine what aspects of the bat's auditory information processing, in active and/or passive sound localization, are affected when the bat attacks prey in calling...

.... These models have rarely been tested using data from actual predator–prey encounters. To address this problem, we recorded multi-camera infrared videography of bat–insect interactions in a large outdoor enclosure. We documented 235 attacks by four Myotis volans bats on a variety of moths. Bat and moth flight...
