Figure 1 Sensing the air flow. Bats, such as this Mediterranean horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus euryale), are adept at avoiding obstacles when flying in the dark. New research shows how sensory hairs on the wings, in addition to remarkable echolocation abilities, contribute to flight control. Photo by Dietmar Nill/naturepl.com.
