Quantitative integration of genetic factors in the learning and production of canary song

PC Mundinger, DC Lahti - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Learned bird song is influenced by inherited predispositions. The canary is a model system
for the interaction of genes and learning on behaviour, especially because some strains
have undergone artificial selection for song. In this study, roller canaries (bred for low-
pitched songs) and border canaries (whose song is higher pitched, similar to the wild-type)
were interbred and backcrossed to produce 58 males that sorted into seven genetically
distinct groups. All males were tutored with the same set of songs, which included both low …
