Bats Avoid Mid-Air Crashes by Adjusting Their Echolocation During Flight
A recent study conducted in Israel’s Hula Valley reveals how bats manage to avoid collisions while exiting caves in large groups. Despite the expected interference from their echolocation calls, which could lead to crashes, bats have adapted by making behavioural changes. They fan out in flight, switching to higher-frequency calls that are shorte...

An Hour-By-Hour Look at How a Conspiracy Theory Becomes 'Truth' on Facebook
Conspiracy theories, hoaxes and other variants of baloney have become so prevalent and intractable on Facebook that we no longer bother to debunk them. But a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides some insight on exactly how misinformation spreads - with big implications for the fight against it.
