Arguably biosonar is one of the 'eye-opening' discoveries about
animal behavior and the auditory systems of echolocators are front
and center in this story. Echolocation by bats has proven to be a
virtual gold mine for colleagues studying neurobiology, while
providing many rich examples of its impact on other areas of bats'
lives. In this volume we briefly review the history of the topic
(reminding readers of the 1995 Hearing by Bats). We use a chapter
on new findings in the phylogeny of bats to put the information
that follows in an evolutionary context. This includes an
examination of the possible roles of Prestin and FoxP2 genes and
various anatomical features affecting bat vocalizations. We
introduce recent work on the role of noseleafs, ears, and other
facial components on the focusing of sound and collection of
echoes.
