| Abstract: | Summary The echolocation behavior ofRhinolophus rouxi when waiting for insects on a perch and when pursuing them in short hunting flights is described. It reveals that flycatcher-style hunting is one foraging strategy utilized by this species. It also suggests that bats use fluttering target information to classify their prey. |
