. 2015 Dec;
219(Pt 4):491-500.
PMID: 26685174
Lingual articulation in humans is one of the primary means of vocal tract resonance filtering that produces the characteristic vowel formants of speech. In songbirds, the function of the tongue...

215(Pt 17):2950-9.
PMID: 22875764
The preference of female songbirds for particular traits in the songs of courting males has received considerable attention, but the relationship of preferred traits to male quality is poorly understood....

J Exp Biol
. 2011 Dec;
215(Pt 1):85-92.
PMID: 22162856
Birdsong and human speech share many features with respect to vocal learning and development. However, the vocal production mechanisms have long been considered to be distinct. The vocal organ of...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2010 Sep;
197(1):45-59.
PMID: 20852867
Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen) are notable for their vocal prowess. We investigated the syringeal and respiratory dynamics of vocalization by two 6-month-old males, whose songs had a number of adult...

Riede T, Suthers R
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2008 Dec;
195(2):183-92.
PMID: 19082607
Bird song is a complex behavior that requires the coordination of several motor systems. Sound is produced in the syrinx and then modified by the upper vocal tract. Movements of...

Zollinger S, Riede T, Suthers R
J Exp Biol
. 2008 Jun;
211(Pt 12):1978-91.
PMID: 18515729
The diverse vocal signals of songbirds are produced by highly coordinated motor patterns of syringeal and respiratory muscles. These muscles control separate sound generators on the right and left side...

Suthers R, Narins P, Lin W, Schnitzler H, Denzinger A, Xu C, et al.
J Exp Biol
. 2006 Dec;
209(Pt 24):4984-93.
PMID: 17142687
Most anurans are highly vocal but their vocalizations are stereotyped and simple with limited repertoire sizes compared with other vocal vertebrates, presumably because of the limited mechanisms for fine vocal...

. 2006 Oct;
145(4):423-32.
PMID: 17011222
Respiratory water loss in Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) at rest and during flight at ambient temperatures (T(amb)) between 6 and 25 degrees C was calculated from respiratory airflow and exhaled air...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2006 Mar;
103(14):5543-8.
PMID: 16567614
In human speech, the sound generated by the larynx is modified by articulatory movements of the upper vocal tract, which acts as a variable resonant filter concentrating energy near particular...

PMID: 16521762
Some birds make use of a distensible oral cavity to produce nearly pure-tone song. Songbirds such as the Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) have a muscularly distended oropharyngeal-esophageal cavity between the...
