The article I selected is ‘Non-breeding season events influence sexual selection in a long-distance migratory bird’ for this study. This article talked about how the non-breeding season events (like different quality of overwintering habitats) change the sexual selection factors (like departure time, polygyny, and nest conditions, etc.) of migratory birds.

This is an academic, peer-reviewed research material as the source has been reviewed by at least 1 referee before publication, which could be proved by the end of conclusion: We gratefully acknowledge the many field assistants who contributed to this study. R. Reudink, R. Germain, A. McKellar, C. Studds, A. Tøttrup, S. Bearhop and an anonymous reviewer provided insightful comments on this manuscript. C. Studds provided invaluable statistical help. K. Klassen and A. Vuletich provided critical isotope analysis assistance and we thank C. Scott for molecular assistance. Funding was provided by the Natural Sciences and 1624 M. W. Reudink et al.
