Methods: Increasing feasibility of total blood cell count analysis in field studies: Effects of plastic tubes and storage duration

Total red (RBC) and white (WBC) blood cell counts are highly informative haematological parameters, holding substantial potential for advancing ecological and evolutionary research and conservation efforts. Yet, their use in studies on wild bird populations is rare as blood samples need to be stored...
