Relationships of Settlement Date and Body Size with Reproductive Success in Male Oriental Great Reed Warbler Acrocephalus orientalis.

The article discusses research on the body size and settlement date of the male Oriental Great Reed Warbler or Acrocephalus orientalis and their relation to reproductive success. It references a study by Yu-Seong Choi at Kyung-Hee University in Seoul, South Korea, and his colleagues, published in an issue of "Zoological Studies." The researchers investigated the different factors affecting the reproductive success of the male Oriental Great Reed Warblers, specifically the effect of settlement time on the success of reproduction. They conclude that males who settle early attracted mates earlier compared to the late-settling ones.
