The song of marsh wrens (Cistothorus palustris) is a learned trait passed on from generation to generation. Male marsh wrens from California and New York [USA] learn about 150 and 50 different song apiece, respectively. The volumes of the hyperstriatum ventralis, pars caudalis and the robust nucleus of the archistriatum, 2 telencephalic nuclei involved in song control, are larger by an average of 40% and 30%, respectively, in the population with a larger song repertoire.
