review the sub-parts. Suggest a more precise definition (with provenance)
look at taxonomic distribution - when did this organ and its parts evolve? Where has this been lost as a functional organ? Should we add additional taxon constraints, particularly never_in

Research direction
Start with the UBERON:0009074 YAML term and review its definition, sub-parts, relationships, and taxonomic distribution. Research when the syrinx and its parts evolved, where the functional organ was lost, and whether additional never_in constraints are justified. Done means a more precise definition with provenance and supported taxonomic constraints are proposed.
