Echolocation calls of Pteronotus davyi (Chiroptera, Mormoopidae) from Panama

We studied echolocation signals broadcast by free-flying naked-backed bats (Pteronotus davyi) from Panama. Calls consisted of a segment of constant frequency, followed by a downward frequency modulated sweep, and ended with a short segment of quasi-constant frequency. Up to three harmonics were dete...

description We studied echolocation signals broadcast by free-flying naked-backed bats (Pteronotus davyi) from Panama. Calls consisted of a segment of constant frequency, followed by a downward frequency modulated sweep, and ended with a short segment of quasi-constant frequency. Up to three harmonics were detectable. The second harmonic usually was more intense, and mean frequencies in the constant and quasi-constant segments were 68.0 and 58.0 kHz, respectively. Most pulses showed the highest intensity in the frequency cone­ sponding to the constant segment of the second harmonic, but sometimes bats allocated most energy to the quasi-constant segment of that same harmonic or even to the constant or the quasi-constant segment of the fundamental harmonic.
