"The emission of echolocation calls at frequencies lower than the hearing sensitivity of the acoustic fovea so that the upward shift in frequency of the echo, as a result of the relative velocity of the bat to the target, ensures that frequency of the echo is within frequency range of the acoustic fovea."
