The Heterophil-to-Lymphocyte (H/L) Ratio Indicates Varying Physiological Characteristics in Nestlings Compared to Adults in a Long-Lived Seabird
The ratio of the innate heterophils to the acquired lymphocytes (the H/L-ratio) has been advocated as a good indicator of physiological stress. Little is known, however, about their development in wild birds. The present study investigates how leucocyte profiles develop in nestlings of a long-lived...
