Potential pathways for seasonal interactions. Summary of possible pathways for seasonal interactions mediated through sexually selected carotenoid plumage colouration of feathers grown on the wintering grounds (greater covert chroma and hue) and individual quality (as measured through plumage coluration of tail feathers grown on shared breeding grounds).
