Echolocating bats [Tadarida brasiliensis, Eptesicus fuscus, Pteronotus personatus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Phyllostomus hastatus, Plecotus phyllotis and Noctilio leporinus] use different information-gathering strategies for hunting prey in open, uncluttered environments, in relatively open environments with some obstacles, in densely cluttered environments. These situations differ in the extent to which individual targets such as flying insects can be detected as isolated objects or must be separated perceptually from backgrounds. Echolocating bats also differ in whether they use high-resolution, multidimensional images of targets or concentrate specifically on one particular target dimension, such as movement, to detect prey.
