The sound emission pattern of the echolocating bat, Eptesicus fuscus
The emission pattern of Eptesicus fuscus was found to be consistent with those of the other frequency‐modulating (FM) bats studied in similar detail in that there is a mainlobe aimed forward of the… Expand

Role of syringeal muscles in controlling the phonology of bird song.
1. The contribution of syringeal muscles to controlling the phonology of song was studied by recording bilateral airflow, subsyringeal air sac pressure, electromyograms (EMGs) of six syringeal… Expand

  • The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
  • 1 December 1987
Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomidae) is a frugivorous bat that emits low-intensity, broadband, frequency-modulated echolocation pulses through nostrils surrounded by a noseleaf. The emission… Expand

Role of syringeal muscles in gating airflow and sound production in singing brown thrashers.
1. The role of syringeal muscles in song production, particularly in regulating airflow through the syrinx, was studied in singing brown thrashers (Toxostoma rufum). In nine individuals, muscle… Expand

Inflation of the esophagus and vocal tract filtering in ring doves
SUMMARY Ring doves vocalize with their beaks and nostrils closed, exhaling into inflatable chambers in the head and neck region. The source sound produced at the syrinx contains a fundamental… Expand

Airflow and pressure during canary song: direct evidence for mini-breaths
SummaryMale canaries (Serinus canaria) produce songs of long duration compared to the normal respiratory cycle. Each phrase in a song contains repetitions of a particular song syllable, with… Expand
