Geographic and genetic factors shape acoustic divergence and dialect-like variation in communication calls in the greater horseshoe bats.

Abstract excerpt

Acoustic divergence is a fundamental component of signal-based communication in animals, including humans, and has major implications for individual recognition, mate choice, and speciation. Bats have recently become an important model system for investigating acoustic communication due to their structurally complex vocal repertoires. This study explored communication calls of greater horseshoe bats ( Rhinolophus...
