The respiratory biology of birds has been interest to researchers for centuries, particularly owing its dramatically heterogeneous structure, unusual ability non-ventilatory structures invade nearly all parts the body (including skeleton) in many taxa, and exceptional efficiency under high-altitude hypoxia. Advances imaging, experimental developmental techniques, as well recent palaeontological specimens have facilitated new discoveries, analyses progress field. Comprehensively, this theme issue shows origin modern avian system, current controversies how evolution impacted their from molecular, cellular, phylogenetic level. This collection articles addresses field made, gaps our knowledge where needs go, with a primary focus on adult embryonic form function but also touching vocalization clinical aspects biology. article is part ‘The system’.
