Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)

Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with high-repetition-rate, low-intensity buzzes.
