Abstract Echolocating bats adapt their emissions to succeed in noisy environments. In the present study we investigated if echolocating humans can detect a sound-reflecting surface in the presence of noise and if intensity of echolocation emissions (

Here, we report novel empirical results from a psychophysical experiment in which we tested the echolocation abilities of nine blind adult human experts in click-based echolocation. We found that they had better acuity in localizing a target and used

Birth is initiated through activation of an endocrine organ communication system. In species such as the sheep it is clear that activation of the fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis plays a pivotal role in this process. Precocious activation of
