The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Bird Song: The Interface of Evolution and Mechanism (2004, unknown): “Fast trills are expected to be comparatively difficult to produce because they demand higher levels of vocal performance that include more rapid respiration and vocal tract movements (Hartley & Suthers 1989, Westneat et al. 1993, Podos & Nowicki 2004, Zollinger & Suthers 2004).”
Unpacking “Honesty”: Vertebrate Vocal Production and the Evolution of Acoustic Signals (2003, background): “Such "vocal pads" are seen in lions and other cats of the genus Panthera (Hast 1989, Harrison 1995).”
Androgen-dependent male vocal performance influences female preference in Neotropical singing mice (2011, unknown): “In particular, ‘minibreaths’ that birds take between each note suggest a potential role for respiratory musculature in limiting temporal aspects of note production (Calder 1970; Hartley & Suthers 1989; Lambrechts 1996).”
