Using
280ms range
|
Using
the 1280ms time position it will be probable that a feeding buzz
will be captured. This gives rise to a ‘laughter’ effect (sound)
& demonstrates the progressive increase in repetition rate when
the bat is echo locating close to it’s prey. This range can also
be used for social calls when there is a large gap between successive
calls. |
