navigation by reflected sound
a way some animals find things by listening to echoes
Vartosenos šablonas:
echolocation (in [animal])
Dažna klaida:
Echolocation is not the same as simply having good hearing; it specifically involves using echoes from sounds that are produced.
Sinonimai
biosonar (often used for echolocation in animals, especially marine mammals.)
Antonimai
vision (finding things by sight rather than by echoes.)

Pavyzdžiai
- Bats rely on echolocation to avoid obstacles in the dark.
- Scientists recorded echolocation calls to study how dolphins hunt.
- The cave fish showed reduced vision but strong echolocation-like sensing.

locating objects with sound echoes
a way to find objects by sending sound and listening to the echo
Vartosenos šablonas:
echolocation for [purpose]
Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse echolocation with radar; radar uses radio waves, while echolocation uses sound.
Sinonimai
sonar (a broader term; echolocation is often used for biological or biomimetic sonar.)
Antonimai
radar (a different ranging method that uses radio waves instead of sound.)

human navigation by clicking sounds
a way some people use echoes to know where things are
Vartosenos šablonas:
learn echolocation; use echolocation to [do something]
Dažna klaida:
It does not mean using a machine; in this sense it can be a learned human skill.
Sinonimai
click-based navigation (describes the common technique used in human echolocation.)
Antonimai
visual navigation (moving around mainly by using sight rather than echoes.)

the act of echo-based detection
finding something by using echoes
Vartosenos šablonas:
echolocation of [object/area]
Dažna klaida:
This is a broad sense; in many contexts it specifically refers to animals (especially bats and dolphins).
Sinonimai
echo ranging (a general descriptive term for measuring location by echoes.)
Antonimai
direct observation (identifying something without relying on reflected sound.)

technical
echolocation used by bats
the way bats use echoes to find things
Pavyzdžiai
- Researchers analyzed bat echolocation to understand how bats track fast-moving insects.
- Bat echolocation changes depending on whether the bat is in open air or near trees.
dolphin echolocation
