Loon Syringes: Do Anatomical Differences Underpin Gender-Specific Vocalizations?
Público DepositedContenido Descargable
open in viewerAvians possess a distinctive sound-producing organ, the syrinx, located at the tracheal bifurcation. The Common Loon has a unique set of vocalizations used for communication, including a male-specific call. This project aimed to explore anatomical differences in male and female syringes that account for differences in vocalizations. Micro-CT imaging was used to examine syrinx morphology, creating 3D models of loon syringes. Results revealed a tracheobronchial syrinx type in loons, yet no anatomical differences between male and female loon syringes were observed.
