Flexible control of vocal timing in Carollia perspicillata bats enables escape from acoustic interference

Abstract In natural environments, background noise can degrade the integrity of acoustic signals, posing a problem for animals that rely on their vocalizations for communication and navigation. A simple behavioral strategy to combat acoustic interference would be to restrict call emissions to period...
