a) The article I have chosen is “Bird-pollinated flowers in an evolutionary and molecular context” Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 59, No. 4, pp. 715–727, 2008, by Quentin Cronk* and Isidro Ojeda.

The link to the article is: https://oup.silverchair-cdn.com/oup/backfile/Content_public/Journal/jxb/59/4/10.1093/jxb/ern009/2/ern009.pdf?Expires=1497250100&Signature=X5MYqRKanmgt1YJIc7X7nR3oWOYrSl76-maryxm5PVzdqipcA2Z9mgK7lcVQuIfXgV6WbwDt2g-6ZSTPDp1ikIt1AtymzigwIrUQ74a0kS7b67pksJYW9NeA5Nj5rWO5Bag1lxTlRbLcwy3CCcxh~vmNkIkSGSomq9hzd5E3Jb7YO24ELGDzZgt8j-qQ3ewAE3E4R-MWDoYV-oH1p-c7icHn3eq8t21L0g8OXU031EsXALTRr320b5sg-GPI-nmlqt5fzakrcwLaSKsWpmHnPmb38zRR~dLW7-phsh8bvkJrYEqTtzfbv1Yake~LqcLEmDaNVwfemRqYVSvafBpqyw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIUCZBIA4LVPAVW3Q

b) The article classification is an academic, peer-reviewed, review material

c) The authors are PhD students at UBC and research the evolution of bird pollination, which indicates a an academic article. The paper contains in text citations and includes a bibliography/ references.

The ‘Journal of Experimental Botany’  was peer reviewed.

A personal study was not done in order to write the paper. Although the paper does include an introduction, it does not include methods or results so it is not a research paper, and therefore is for review.
