Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.New World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Error detection is not necessary for representation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are
