Effects of harmful algal blooms on stress levels and immune functioning in wetland-associated songbirds and reptiles

Capture data, morphological data, circulating leukocyte profile (number of eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and heterophils), heterophil:lymphocyte ratio, bactericidal capacity, and natural antibody agglutination titer in individual barn swallows, red-winged blackbirds, Northern watersnakes, and painted turtles sampled from control (Ottawa County) and harmful algal bloom-exposed (Mercer and Auglaize Counties) wetlands in Ohio, USA, in 2018-2019.

Additionally, peak skin swelling in response to injection with phytohemagglutinin was measured at each site in 2018 in painted turtles only.
