Abstract in brief

  • Birds typically vocalize with open beaks, but some species use closed-mouth vocalizations during territorial or courtship displays, which produce low-frequency sounds due to resonance.
  • Closed-mouth vocalizations are not ancestral to birds and have evolved independently at least 16 times, mainly in larger species, while they are rare among small passerines.
  • The ability to produce closed-mouth sounds may have existed in some extinct nonavian dinosaurs, likely linked to sexual displays, and co-occurred with open-mouth vocalizations.

@neiltyson @RichardGarriott There's a lot of evidence to suggest that some sounded like if you took birdsong and make it come out of something much, much larger!! It's haunting when you simulate it: https://t.co/KZe4gBlfHe
