Median (minimum–maximum) venous blood gas and lactate values for Mourning Doves sampled from the basilic vein promptly following capture by mist net and banding (n=24, except for lactate where n=23; median 9 min, range 5–17 min after contacting mist net), or sampled following a delay (n=20, except for lactate and pO₂ where n=19; median 52 min, range 41–68 min). Wilcoxon rank sums tests; bold and * indicate that significant differences remain following Bonferroni correction for multiple simultaneous inferences. TC = temperature corrected to 41 C.
