eBook 정보

""Echo Hunters"" explores the fascinating world of echolocation, the biological sonar system used by animals like bats, dolphins, and whales. These ""echo hunters"" navigate their environments by emitting sound waves and interpreting the returning echoes, allowing them to ""see"" in the dark or murky waters. The book investigates how different species independently evolved this remarkable ability, showcasing convergent evolution in action. It also highlights the intricate neural processing required to transform these echoes into a detailed sensory map.

This exploration of life sciences details acoustic anatomy, neural processing, and evolutionary pathways. Beginning with the basics of sound, the book progresses to examine the unique physical structures that enable animals to emit and receive ultrasonic signals. Later chapters delve into how the brain processes these signals and trace the evolutionary history of echolocation across various species.

Understanding echolocation is vital for conservation efforts, especially in the face of increasing noise pollution that threatens these animals. Finally, ""Echo Hunters"" emphasizes the ecological importance of echolocating animals and the book's conservation biology focus. The book draws from field studies, experiments, and computational models, providing a comprehensive overview of this sensory biology phenomenon.

By understanding the acoustic physics and sensory biology behind echolocation, readers gain insights into the challenges these animals face and the importance of protecting their habitats.
