蝙蝠是第二大哺乳动物目，有1,300多个物种。这些动物表现出不同的行为，饮食和栖息地。大多数蝙蝠发出超声波发声，并通过处理返回的回声所携带的信息来感知环境。回声定位是通过一个复杂的声音系统来实现的，这个系统允许蝙蝠发出和检测频率，范围从10到数百千赫。此外，大多数蝙蝠物种是群居的，并产生不同的复杂性，形式和不同物种的功能的社会通信呼叫。在这篇文章中，我们（a）强调蝙蝠作为社会交流研究的模式物种的价值，（B）回顾蝙蝠声通信信号产生和处理的行为和神经生理学研究，（c）讨论该领域未来研究的重要方向。我们认为，对蝙蝠声音交流的比较研究可以为整个动物王国的声音处理和发声学习提供新的见解。
Bats are the second largest mammalian order, with over 1,300 species. These animals show diverse behaviors, diets, and habitats. Most bats produce ultrasonic vocalizations and perceive their environment by processing information carried by returning echoes of their calls. Echolocation is achieved through a sophisticated audio-vocal system that allows bats to emit and detect frequencies that can range from ten to hundreds of kilohertz. In addition, most bat species are gregarious, and produce social communication calls that vary in complexity, form, and function across species. In this article, we (a) highlight the value of bats as model species for research on social communication, (b) review behavioral and neurophysiological studies of bat acoustic communication signal production and processing, and (c) discuss important directions for future research in this field. We propose that comparative studies of bat acoustic communication can provide new insights into sound processing and vocal learning across the animal kingdom.
