Bat echolocation: 3-D imaging differentiates how various bats generate biosonar signals

It's surprising to learn that bats can echolocate in different ways. First of all, not all bats echolocate, some are frugivorous, some are nectarivores. This article focuses on the use of micro-CT 3d imaging do differentiate physiological different between bats that use tongue clicks to echolocate and those that are physiologically adapted to practice laryngeal echolocation. Amazingly, it is now suspected that the use of echolocation has evolved more than once in bats. Bats that echolocate are not necessarily closely related to one another. Just another example of the singularity of life.
