Note that the pair specificity of vocal interactions increased across breeding stages, and after birds had paired, they always shared more interactions with their partner than with other group members.
To make the information about the amount of vocalisations and interactions in relation to the specificity of vocal interactions within pairs at different breeding stages available at first glance, we added another figure showing the vocal activity and the intra-pair and extra-pair vocal interactions in the same graph.
To investigate pair specificity of vocal interactions, we calculated the percentage of possible interactions at different breeding stages with the partner and the other group members (n = 16 birds, from trials II and III, due to incomplete data in trial I).
Under Jason Moore's direction, a few of the actorly shifts could occur more quickly and not all the personae have a gestural specificity to match the vocal one.
And "Tesla," one of the band's biographical sketches ("Meet James Ensor, James K. Polklk"), compresses the life of one of the twentieth-century's most important thinkers into two minutes and change with ambition, pathos, scientific specificity, and a lovely vocal performance.

Here we showed that imitative vocal learning is not involved in the strain specificity of mouse songs.
Can specificity make a song universal?
Indeed, one of the issues in choosing music written specifically for three very different singers has been how to reconcile the specificity of this operatic troika with my own vocal and stylistic idiosyncrasies.
Abandoning the sweetness of tracks like "Heartbeats," its vocals are heavily processed, as if to erase the specificity of gender and identity.
