White blood cell estimates correlate to measures of population and individual health in an endangered population of Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus)
These results demonstrate the utility of estimated WBC counts to further assess health at the individual and population levels in the study of species of heightened conservation concern and should be considered as an addition to research plans.
