Floreste et al. (2026) - Ectoparasite presence is associated with alterations in immune function after an acute stressor in cane toads (Rhinella marina)

Description

Raw data table. We measured corticosterone (CORT) plasma levels and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), two common stress indicators, as well as the bacterial killing ability (BKA), a protein-mediated innate immunity trait, at baseline and after a short-term stressor (24 h restraint) in amphibians with and without ticks.
