Urban refers to the more human-impacted site, TCRA, whereas rural refers to the less human-impacted site, LMU. No blood samples were collected at LMU in 2012. Collection method, i.e. walking on land, post-nesting or basking trap (see Materials and methods section for details) is noted, as well as whether only a basal sample or an entire corticosterone stress-response series was collected.
