The Aerodynamic Cost of Head Morphology in Bats: Maybe Not as Bad as It Seems
At first sight, echolocating bats face a difficult trade-off. As flying animals, they would benefit from a streamlined geometric shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase flight efficiency. However, as echolocating animals, their pinnae generate the acoustic cues necessary for navigation and for...
