Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of the Echolocation Strategies of Bats on the Basis of Mathematical Modelling and Laboratory Experiments
Figure 4
Parameter estimation of (, ) in Equations 12 and 13, from different flight paths of a bat and moths.
These paths were experimentally obtained from video recordings in the flight chamber, using the same bat individual and different moth individuals. The top panels represent the flight paths of a bat and moths in the horizontal plane of the chamber, and the middle and bottom panels represent the time series data for and . Note that the bat captured the first moth but not the second moth, during each session. In the top panels, the flight paths of the bat, the first moth, and the second moth are given by black, pink, and light blue lines, respectively. In the middle and bottom panels, dotted lines describe and (, ). and mainly exist around and .
