- Data show back-transformed CORT concentrations (mean and 95% Bayesian credible intervals) of male and female African, Canary Islands and European stonechats during incubation and when feeding young. All individuals were caught without STI. As European males were always caught with STI, they were not included in the comparison with Canary Islands stonechats
