Homo sapiens
Should we not add humans to the list of organisms that can echolocate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.11.187.161 (talk) 12:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- There seems to be both published research (PLOS) and popular press (AAAS Science Magazine) that should meet verifiability rules, so that would seem good to me. --Wesley R. Elsberry (talk) 21:03, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- The right way would be to add a short section, named and summarizing Human echolocation (an existing, cited article), with a few key refs from there and a {{main|Human echolocation}} link, rather than creating a WP:FORK here. I guess, by the way, that we have here an example of the ambiguity of the term "animal" which has been discussed elsewhere. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Addition to section "Avoidance by prey animals"
This section needs a substantial description of the ground-breaking research of Kenneth Roeder of Tufts University in the 1960s & 70s on noctuid moths, which, based on two bilateral pairs of neurons, can turn away from a distant echolocating bat, and when the sound gets intense, will stop flying and drop to the ground. A classic study in neuroethology (I do not have time to go into the proper detail and Wikipedia formatting on this, unfortunately). See for example https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.154.3756.1515 Dragonfly360 (talk) 02:30, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Overcitation
The article's currently suffering from some over-citation in areas. Consider either WP:CITEONE or WP:CITEMERGE for solutions. -- Primium (talk) 04:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
