It is generally believed that, for millions of years, bats and the insects they hunt at night have adapted to each other in an evolutionary arms race to become better at finding or avoiding each other ...

A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute used a robot to mimic common big-eared bats' echolocation skills ...

Ask a biologist why predators don't exterminate all their prey, part of the answer often is that there is an ongoing arms race between predators and prey, with both parties continuously evolving new ...
