Timing matters: Sonar call groups facilitate target localization in bats

To successfully negotiate a cluttered environment, an echolocating bat must control the timing of motor behaviors in response to dynamic sensory information. Here we detail the big brown bat’s adaptive temporal control over sonar call production for tracking prey, moving predictably or unpredictabl...
