Two groups of animals, bats and odontocetes (toothed whales),
have independently developed the ability to orient and detect
prey by biosonar (echolocation). This active mechanism of
orientation allows these animals to operate under low light
conditions.

Biosonar is a conceptual overview of what
is known about biosonar in bats and odontocetes. Chapters are
written by bat and odontocetes experts, resulting in
collaborations that not only examine data on both animals, but
also compare and contrast mechanisms. This book provides a unique
insight that will help improve our understanding of biosonar in
both animal groups.
