We explore the relationship between the bridge waist and sound production in the violin. Models of violin acoustics suggest that the stiffness of this portion of the bridge has a considerable effect on an instrument’s sound production. In practice,

Many songbirds tune the frequency of their whistled vocalizations by varying the length of their vocal tract. To do this, they must open their bills wider to produce higher tones and then close them again for lower pitches. The time course of frequen

Although the ray-finned fishes are named for their bony, segmented lepidotrichia (fin rays), we are only beginning to understand the morphological and functional diversity of this key vertebrate structure. Fin rays support the fin web, and their mate

Our understanding of the evolution and function of animal displays has been advanced through studies of vocal performance. A widely used metric of vocal performance, vocal deviation, is limited by being applicable only to vocal trills, and also overl

We compare the acoustic phonetics of German language learners at the beginning and end of a college semester. Participants recorded three utterances of five example sentences in the first and last months of the semester. Results from the early record

Song learning is hypothesized to allow social adaptation to a local song neighbourhood. Maintaining social associations is particularly important in cooperative breeders, yet vocal learning in such species has only been assessed in systems where soci

Second language learners may be particularly challenged when the new language makes distinctions between sounds that are phonetically equivalent in the speaker's first language. If the distinction occurs between vowels, native speakers and learners s
