Henry Alford, The New Yorker, 29 July 2022 Nagel argues that even a scientist who learns everything there is to know about echolocation can never really imagine a bat’s experience, its umwelt. Sadie Dingfelder, Washington Post, 1 July 2022 What makes learning echolocation so enticing though?

New York Times, 12 Apr. 2022 The low-frequency sonar of warships and submarines directly interferes with dolphins’ echolocation, said Pavel Goldin, a marine biologist specializing in dolphins at the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology in Ukraine.
