Birdsong has developed into one of the important models for motor control of learned behaviour and shows many parallels with speech acquisition in humans. However, there are several experimental...
Aspects of syringeal mechanics in avian phonation (2006)
The vocal organ of birds, the syrinx, is formed by modified cartilages of the trachea and bronchi. Recently, the use of thin, flexible endoscopes has made direct observation of the syrinx possible in...
Vibratory behavior of the sound generating structures of the bird syrinx (1998)
Recent endoscopic studies of the bird syrinx during phonation suggest that sound is generated by vibrating membrane folds or labia (Goller and Larsen, J. exp. Biol., 200, 2165-2176, 1997; Goller and...

Muscular control and biomechanics of the songbird syrinx (1997)
In songbirds the vocal organ, the syrinx, is controlled by six bilateral muscles, the functional roles of which have been studied indirectly, but not directly. We filmed the syrinx with an endoscope...

Role of syringeal vibrations in bird vocalizations
The sound-generating mechanism in the bird syrinx has been the subject of debate. Recent endoscopic imaging of the syrinx during phonation provided evidence for vibrations of membranes and labia, but...
