2012年6月,对湖南省石门县壶瓶山国家级自然保护区神景洞短嘴金丝燕的回声定位叫声进行研究,在黑暗山洞内使用录音仪器录制其自由飞行状态的声音后使用声音软件进行分析.短嘴金丝燕捕食归巢时,快速飞入洞口,在洞内有光区域不发声,到达洞内黑暗区域后开始发出回声定位叫声,且飞行速度减慢.声音分析结果表明其回声定位叫声为双脉冲组的噪声脉冲串型(noise burst),组内脉冲间隔很短[(6.6±0.42)ms],组间脉冲间隔较长[(99.3±3.86) ms],两者差异显著(P<0.01).对比第一、第二脉冲声音参数发现,主频和脉冲时程差异不显著,第一、第二脉冲主频分别为(6.2±0.08) kHz和(6.2±0.10) kHz (P>0.05);脉冲时程分别为(2.9±0.12) ms和(3.2±0.17) ms (P>0.05);最高和最低频率差异显著,第一、第二脉冲最高频率分别为(20.1±1.10) kHz和(15.4±0.98) kHz (P<0.01),最低频率分别为(3.7±0.12) kHz和(4.0±0.09)kHz (P<0.05);第一脉冲频宽((16.5±1.17) kHz)宽于第二脉冲((11.4±1.01) kHz) (P<0.01);且第一脉冲能量[(-32.5±0.60) dB]高于第二脉冲[(-35.2±0.94) dB] (P<0.05).另外,短嘴金丝燕在黑暗山洞内的回声定位叫声还包含了部分超声波,最高频率可达33.2 kHz.  相似文献

无尾蹄蝠的回声定位声波特征及分析   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
采用超声波监听仪U30录制无尾蹄蝠自由飞行状态的回声定位声波,经Batsound3.0分析,其声波为高频(145.4±10.9kHz)、宽带(62.6±9.2kHz)、具两个谐波的短(1.67±0.4ms)FM型,不同于蹄蝠科其他蝙蝠的CF型,表明该科内物种声波类型存在多态性。头骨的形态测定分析支持其通过鼻腔发射声波,与蹄蝠科其他蝙蝠一致,表明该科内声波发射方式的单一性。适应环境的选择压力及翼型和声波的适应性可能是其选择FM型叫声的重要原因。  相似文献

回声定位声波地理差异及其形成原因是蝙蝠生态学研究领域一个基本而关键的问题,对于探索物种生存机制、物种形成及其保护具有重要科学意义。本研究从较大地理尺度上(9个地理种群)研究了菲菊头蝠(Rhinolophus pusillus)回声定位声波结构的地理差异,并进一步探讨了影响回声定位声波地理种群差异的因素。结果表明,菲菊头蝠雌性的体型较雄性略大,其主频较高。不同地理种群之间回声定位声波差异明显,包括脉冲持续时间、脉冲间隔、主频以及带宽在不同的地理种群之间均表现出一定程度的差异。进一步分析发现,不同地理种群之间的雌性菲菊头蝠前臂长和体重均与主频呈较弱的负相关,降雨量与雌性的主频呈较强的正相关;而不同地理种群之间的雄性前臂长、体重和降雨量与回声定位声波参数均无相关性;此外,地理距离、温度、湿度均与雌雄回声定位声波参数无相关性。本研究结果表明,菲菊头蝠不同地理种群间的回声定位声波出现明显差异,其中,体型和降雨量为主要影响因子,说明蝙蝠回声定位叫声的进化主要受到了当地生境的影响,表现出动物对不同生境的适应性进化。  相似文献

大棕蝠江南亚种回声定位声波特征与分析   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
在自建录音棚内录制大棕蝠汀南亚种Eptesicus serotinus andersoni不同状态下的同声定位声波,使用单因素方差分析(One-Way ANOVA)方法埘小同状态下的声波参数进行显著性差异分析和均值的多重比较,结果表明,大棕蝠江南亚种回声定位声波为短的、宽带的且能量大部分集中在第1谐波的调频型声波,伴有3~4个谐波.并且飞行、悬挂和手持状态的各声波参数均存在显著差异(P<0.05).悬挂状态同声定位声波的声脉冲持续时间大于飞行和手持状态,飞行状态下回声定位声波声脉冲间隔最小,但同声定位声波的主频率为所有状态中最高的.回声定位声波的这些特征及差异体现了与其捕食策略和捕食生境的适应性.  相似文献

八种菊头蝠回声定位声波频率与体型的相关性   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
菊头蝠回声定位声波中含有强的恒频(con-stant frequency,CF)组分,通常在开始和结尾伴有短的FM组分(Schnitzler,1968).飞行状态能影响回音信号(张树义等,1999).在飞行中,蝙蝠发出的频率变低以补偿由飞行速度引起的多谱勒变化,返回的回声接近于蝙蝠停止时的声波频率(Schnitzler,1968).回声定位声波的频率随蝙蝠年龄和季节的变化会产生一些变动,但如果频率被身体结构制约,CF组分频率在蝙蝠静止时会保持相对恒定(Vater,1987;Heller et al.,1989;Joneset al.1994).Francis et al.(1998)对19种菊头蝠、Heller et al.(1989)对26种菊头蝠进行了体型测量和回声定位声波信号的测定,得出结论为:菊头蝠回声定位声波中CF组分的频率与体型大小成负相关.但Jones(1992)和Jones et al.(1993)认为体型大小对菊头蝠回声定位声波没有影响.  相似文献

1994年4月至2007年11月,在湖南壶瓶山国家级自然保护区内,通过定点监测与环志标记等方法,对短嘴金丝燕(Aerodramus brevirostris innominata)的繁殖生物学进行了研究.结果表明,短嘴金丝燕在本地区为夏候鸟,每年4月初迁来,11月初迁走,居留期约210天.所研究的神景洞洞穴内居住了大约2,000只个体,种群性比为1∶1,不同年份种群数量基本稳定.环志标记结果发现,短嘴金丝燕出生1年后即可达到性成熟;其婚配形式为典型的单配制.短嘴金丝燕在黑暗洞穴内营巢,巢材主要为唾液和苔藓,筑巢期长达60天左右,且有利用旧巢的习性.产卵集中在6月,大部分每巢产卵2枚,少数产1枚.第1枚卵产出后开始孵卵,由雌雄鸟共同承担,但以雌鸟为主.孵卵温度为37.3±1.0℃;孵卵期为27.9±3.4天;繁殖成功率为71.4%.雏鸟晚成性,育雏主要由雄鸟承担;雏鸟食物成分与亲鸟基本相同,全为昆虫,育雏期27天左右;雏鸟离巢后首先在洞穴内练习飞行,3-4天后出洞活动.刚离巢时雏鸟体重甚至超过成鸟,离巢后体重有减轻现象.目前,威胁我国短嘴金丝燕生存的主要因素是其分布区的旅游开发和非法采集燕窝对其繁殖活动的干扰.因此,我们建议有关部门停止对短嘴金丝燕栖息的洞穴及其周边活动区域的旅游开发,并禁止非法采集燕窝.  相似文献

In this laboratory experiment it is shown that, like four North American soricid shrew species, the European common shrew Sorex araneus L. is able to use echolocation to identify open and closed tubes at a distance of 200 mm.
Three common shrews captured in Sweden were used for the experiments, which were carried out in darkness and within a sound-proof box. The experimental set-up eliminated orientation using sight, sound or scent from outside the experimental cage. Echolocation calls consisted of broadband ultrasonic clicks at low sound pressure. These were recorded using an ultrasound detector.
The ecological significance of echolocation in shrews is discussed. It is proposed that common shrews use echolocation to locate protective cover, thus minimizing the risk to be taken by, e.g. owls.
Echolocation may also be used for detecting obstacles in subterranean tunnels. Hence, echolocation could be of certain importance when abandoned burrows in the periphery of the tunnel system are restored during periods of increasing population densities. Since density peaks in most populations occur regularly each summer, and may reach extreme magnitudes in cyclic populations, the ecological significance of echolocation in shrews may be considerabl.  相似文献

Ecological constraints often shape the echolocation pulses emitted by bat species. Consequently some (but not all) bats emit species-specific echolocation pulses. Because echolocation pulses are often intense and emitted at high rates, they are potential targets for eavesdropping by other bats. Echolocation pulses can also vary within species according to sex, body size, age, social group and geographic location. Whether these features can be recognised by other bats can only be determined reliably by playback experiments, which have shown that echolocation pulses do provide sufficient information for the identification of sex and individual in one species. Playbacks also show that bats can locate conspecifics and heterospecifics at foraging and roost sites by eavesdropping on echolocation pulses. Guilds of echolocating bat species often partition their use of pulse frequencies. Ecology, allometric scaling and phylogeny play roles here, but are not sufficient to explain this partitioning. Evidence is accumulating to support the hypothesis that frequency partitioning evolved to facilitate intraspecific communication. Acoustic character displacement occurs in at least one instance. Future research can relate genetic population structure to regional variation in echolocation pulse features and elucidate those acoustic features that most contribute to discrimination of individuals.  相似文献

A tenet of auditory scene analysis is that we can fully process only one stream of auditory information at a time. We tested this assumption in a gleaning bat, the pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) because this bat uses echolocation for general orientation, and relies heavily on prey-generated sounds to detect and locate its prey. It may therefore encounter situations in which the echolocation and passive listening streams temporally overlap. Pallid bats were trained to a dual task in which they had to negotiate a wire array, using echolocation, and land on one of 15 speakers emitting a brief noise burst in order to obtain a food reward. They were forced to process both streams within a narrow 300 to 500 ms time window by having the noise burst triggered by the bats initial echolocation pulses as it approached the wire array. Relative to single task controls, echolocation and passive sound localization performance was slightly, but significantly, degraded. The bats also increased echolocation interpulse intervals during the dual task, as though attempting to reduce temporal overlap between the signals. These results suggest that the bats, like humans, have difficulty in processing more than one stream of information at a time.  相似文献

Phonotaxis is the ability to orient towards or away from sound sources. Crickets can locate conspecifics by phonotaxis to the calling (mating) song they produce, and can evade bats by negative phonotaxis from echolocation calls. The behaviour and underlying physiology have been studied in some depth, and the auditory system solves this complex problem in a unique manner. Experiments conducted on a simulation model of the system indicated that the mechanism output a directional signal to sounds ahead at calling song frequency and to sounds behind at echolocation frequencies. We suggest that this combination of responses helps simplify later processing in the cricket. To further explore this result, an analogue, very large scale integrated (aVLSI) circuit model of the mechanism was designed and built; results from testing this agreed with the simulation. The aVLSI circuit was used to test a further hypothesis about the potential advantages of the positioning of the acoustic inputs for sound localisation during walking. There was no clear advantage to the directionality of the system in their location. The aVLSI circuitry is now being extended to use on a robot along with previously modelled neural circuitry to better understand the complete sensorimotor pathway.  相似文献

Summary The pallid bat (Antrozous p. pallidus) uses passive sound localization to capture terrestrial prey. This study of captive pallid bats examined the roles of echolocation and passive sound localization in prey capture, and focused on their spectral requirements for accurate passive sound localization.Crickets were used as prey throughout these studies. All tests were conducted in dim, red light in an effort to preclude the use of vision. Hunting performance did not differ significantly in red light and total darkness, nor did it differ when visual contrast between the terrestrial prey and the substrate was varied, demonstrating that the bats did not use vision to locate prey.Our bats apparently used echolocation for general orientation, but not to locate prey. They did not increase their pulse emission rate prior to prey capture, suggesting that they were not actively scanning prey. Instead, they required prey-generated sounds for localization. The bats attended to the sound of walking crickets for localization, and also attacked small, inanimate objects dragged across the floor. Stationary and/or anesthetized crickets were ignored, as were crickets walking on substrates that greatly attenuated walking sounds. Cricket communication sounds were not used in prey localization; the bats never captured stationary, calling crickets.The accuracy of their passive sound localization was tested with an open-loop passive sound localization task that required them to land upon an anesthetized cricket tossed on the floor. The impact of a cricket produced a single 10–20 ms duration sound, yet with this information, the bats were able to land within 7.6 cm of the cricket from a maximum distance of 4.9 m. This performance suggests a sound localization accuracy of approximately ±1° in the horizontal and vertical dimensions of auditory space. The lower frequency limit for accurate sound localization was between 3–8 kHz. A physiological survey of frequency representation in the pallid bat inferior colliculus suggests that this lower frequency limit is around 5 kHz.  相似文献

The feeding and hunting behaviour of Nycteris grandis and N. thebaica was observed in captivity at the Sengwa Wildlife Research Area in Zimbabwe in January and February 1982. Both species preferentially selected katydids and beetles over moths, and relied heavily on acoustic stimuli emanating from prey to detect targets. Nycteris grandis readily consumed frogs and bats and appeared not to use the calls of male frogs or the echolocation calls of other bats to locate prey. Both species produced echolocation calls during attacks on prey, increasing the rates of pulse repetition as they closed with targets and suggesting the use of echolocation in hunting. The echolocation calls of N. grandis are described along with general observations of the behaviour of both species.  相似文献

We used playback presentations to free-flying bats of 3 species to assess the influence of echolocation call design and foraging strategy on the role of echolocation calls in communication. Near feeding sites over water, Myotis lucifugus and M. yumanensis responded positively only to echolocation calls of conspecifics. Near roosts, these bats did not respond before young of the year became volant, and after this responded to presentations of echolocation calls of similar and dissimilar design. At feeding sites Lasiurus borealis responded only to echolocation calls of conspecifics and particularly to “feeding buzzes”. While Myotis, particularly subadults, appear to use the echolocation calls of conspecifics to locate feeding sites, L. borealis appears to use the calls of a foraging neighbour attacking prey to identify opportunities for ‘stealing’ food.  相似文献

  1. The pulse-like clicking sounds made by odontocetes for echolocation (biosonar) can be roughly classified by their frequency characteristics into narrow-band high-frequency (NBHF) clicks with a sharp peak at around 130 kHz and wide-band (WB) clicks with a moderate peak at 30–100 kHz. Structural differences in the sound-producing organs between NBHF species and WB species have not been comprehensively discussed, nor has the formation of NBHF and WB clicks.
  2. A review of the sound-producing organs, including the latest findings, could lead to a new hypothesis about the sound production mechanisms. In the current review, data on echolocation click characteristics and on the anatomical structure of the sound-producing organs were compared in 33 species (14 NBHF species and 19 WB species).
  3. We review interspecific information on the characteristics of click frequencies and data from computed tomography scans and morphology of the sound-producing organs, accumulated in conventional studies. The morphology of several characteristic structures, such as the melon, the dense connective tissue over the melon (the ‘porpoise capsule’), and the vestibular sacs, was compared interspecifically.
  4. Interspecific comparisons suggest that the presence or absence of the porpoise capsule is unlikely to affect echolocation frequency. Folded structures in the vestibular sacs, features that have been overlooked until now, are present in most species with NBHF sound production and not in WB species; the vestibular sacs are therefore likely to be important in determining echolocation click frequency characteristics. The acoustical properties of the shape of the melon and vestibular sacs are important topics for future investigations about the relationship between anatomical structure and sound-producing mechanisms for echolocation clicks.

Bioacoustic research has made several advancements in developing systems to record extensive acoustic data and classify bat echolocation calls to species level using automated classifiers. These systems are useful as echolocation calls give valuable information on bat behaviour and ecology and hence are widely used for research and conservation of bat populations. Despite the challenges associated with automated classifiers, due to the interspecific differences in call characteristics of bat species found in the Maltese Islands, the use of a quantitative and automated approach is investigated. The sound analysis pipeline involved the use of an algorithm to clean sound files from background noise and measure temporal and spectral parameters of bat echolocation calls. These parameters were then fed to a trained and validated artificial neural network using a bat call library built from reference bat calls from Malta. The automatic classifier achieved an overall correct classification rate of 98%. This high correct classification rate for reliable species identification may have benefitted from the absence of typically problematic species, such as species in the genus Myotis, in the analyses. This study’s results pave the way for efficient and reliable bat acoustic surveys in Malta in aid of necessary monitoring and conservation by providing an updated bat species list and their echolocation characteristics.  相似文献

Dolphins are well known for their exquisite echolocation abilities, which enable them to detect and discriminate prey species and even locate buried prey. While these skills are widely used during foraging, some dolphins use tools to locate and extract prey. In the only known case of tool use in free-ranging cetaceans, a subset of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) in Shark Bay, Western Australia habitually employs marine basket sponge tools to locate and ferret prey from the seafloor. While it is clear that sponges protect dolphins' rostra while searching for prey, it is still not known why dolphins probe the substrate at all instead of merely echolocating for buried prey as documented at other sites. By 'sponge foraging' ourselves, we show that these dolphins target prey that both lack swimbladders and burrow in a rubble-littered substrate. Delphinid echolocation and vision are critical for hunting but less effective on such prey. Consequently, if dolphins are to access this burrowing, swimbladderless prey, they must probe the seafloor and in turn benefit from using protective sponges. We suggest that these tools have allowed sponge foraging dolphins to exploit an empty niche inaccessible to their non-tool-using counterparts. Our study identifies the underlying ecological basis of dolphin tool use and strengthens our understanding of the conditions that favor tool use and innovation in the wild.  相似文献
