Research progress on communication calls in Chiroptera
摘要
Abstract
Acoustic communication is a crucial phenotype for animals to maintain social stability,and it has always been a hotspot in the field of animal behavior research.Bats,as key group in ecosystems,primarily rely on acoustic signals to move around in environments and have long been model organisms for acoustic research.Here,we provide a compre-hensive overview of communication calls in bats and propose future development directions.In general,bat communica-tion calls exhibit diverse spectral structures,encode various information about individual identity,body size,or social sta-tus,and serve functions including defense and alarm,courtship and mating,and social bonding.Bats can adjust the struc-ture,intensity,and complexity of their calls in response to noise interference.Bat communication calls exist geographic variation and possess syntactic structure,vocal rhythm,and complexity.Additionally,bats exhibit vocal learning and variability in sound development.Compared to echolocation calls,research on bat communication calls is relatively lack-ing.We recommend that future studies should focus on the multi-level evolutionary aspects of bat communication calls,innovate sound analysis methods,develop high-performance on-board sound recording devices,establish a global bat acoustic database,strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations,and conduct long-term systematic observations to advance the field of bat communication calls research.关键词
