The common pipistrelle bat had been thought a single species for centuries. Then Fast Fourier Transforms carried out by Ultra Sound Advice Ltd showed that the characteristics of the ultrasound they emit for echolocation fell into two distinct groups.


The Fast Fourier transforms uses the TDS2020F to collect the relevant data

Two species have now been formally acknowledged and recently the Latin name Pipistrellus pygmaeus has been assigned to the 'new' bat.
