Zebra finch male syrinx morphome (interactive 3D PDF). This 3D PDF figure can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9 or higher (http://www.adobe.com webcite). Click on the figure to activate the 3D features. Tyzack [121] provides a comprehensive introduction to the use of interactive 3D PDF files, while Kumar and colleagues [69,122] provide instructions on how to create interactive 3D PDF files. To keep the PDF size of the morphome manageable, the size of the model had to be reduced. Therefore, very thin parts such as muscle insertions and the ends of muscles do not always appear to be correctly placed. Please refer to text and figures for exact descriptions.
