id: GO:0050972
name: detection of mechanical stimulus involved in echolocation
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The series of events involved in echolocation in which a sensory mechanical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The stimulus is in the form of a reflected sound wave (an echo), which the organism uses to determine the distance to the object that reflected the sound wave.
