📢NEW PAPER (a thread): Proud and happy to announce our new paper (open access) in @PLOSBiology: 'Rapid evolution of the primate larynx?'. Thanks to Dan Bowling, Jeroen Smaers, @_MaximeGarcia, @TecumsehFitch, and other brilliant colleagues!! 🎉🙏journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… 1/10 The larynx is an important organ, which has evolved for three key functions: protecting the airway during feeding, regulating the supply of air to and from the lungs, and vocal communication.
