Leaf-nosed bat rounded tips, range in body size from 4 cm to 13.5 cm and a wingspans of up to 90 cm or more. Like other bats, leaf-nosed bats are nocturnal foragers that use echolocation to locate food sources, though the food sources they are locating vary between species. Many bats in family Phyllostomidae appear to have limited reliance on echolocation, likely because frugivorous bats do not need to quickly identify flying insects like many other bats. Instead, species of leaf-nosed fruit bats appear to use scent to identify their preferred food sources. When they are not foraging, leaf-nosed bats roost in
Echolocation jamming trigona" moths when they had the opportunity, thus refuting the hypothesis that the clicks were warning the bats of moths’ toxicity. Moth clicks also disrupted the stereotypical pattern of the bats echolocation, confirming the clicks’ jamming function. Humans may jam echolocating animals deliberately or accidentally. Recent efforts have been made to develop acoustic jamming deterrents to exclude bats from buildings or bridges, or to keep bats away from wind turbines where large numbers of mortalities occur. These deterrents have been shown to reduce bat activity over a small area. However, scaling up acoustic deterrents to large volumes for applications such
