As somebody who loves technology and wildlife and also needs to develop an old farmhouse, going down the bat detector rabbit hole was a journey hard to resist. Bats are ideal animals for hackers to ...

A new algorithm is making it easier for ecologists and conservationists to find bat roost locations—reducing search areas by nearly 375 times their previous size. The technology combines microphone ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts interested in creating an ultrasonic bat detector may be interested in a project published by Tegwyn Twmffat to the Design Spark website earlier this year. A Raspberry Pi mini ...

Bats use echolocation to see objects in front of them. They emit an ultrasonic pulse around 20 kHz (and up to 100 kHz) and then sense the pulses as they reflect off an object and back to the bat. It’s ...

Finding bats is hard. They are small, fast and they primarily fly at night. But our new research could improve the way conservationists find bat roosts. We’ve developed a new algorithm that ...

Studying insect-eating bats isn’t easy: they’re tiny, fly at night, and navigate using ultrasonic frequencies far above human hearing range. But experts in India have come up with a potential solution ...
