image: Aaron Corcoran, a biologist from Wake Forest University, illuminates and video records bats competing for food high off the ground (not visible here). Foraging bats were attracted to this field location with the ultraviolet light tower seen in the right of the image, and the bat sounds were recorded on two microphone arrays placed below the light. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 7, 2014 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.J. Corcoran at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, NC, and colleagues was titled, 'Bats jamming bats: Food competition through sonar interference.' view more
