Declarations
:
: The authors have no competing interests to declare that are relevant to the content of this work.
: Fieldwork, including wildlife management and sampling, was conducted with the permission of the Dirección General de Vida Silvestre (DGVS, Mexico) under permits SGPA/DGVS/00404/15, SGPA/DGVS/01919/17, SGPA/DGVS/02779/21, and SPARN/DGVS/01482/22. All applicable institutional and/or national guidelines for the welfare and conservation of wildlife were followed. Individuals in this study were not handled for more than 10 min. The smallest amount of blood was collected from each animal. While the adults were sampled, we cared for their eggs and chicks until their parents returned to the nest. No adults abandoned their nests after capture. Further monitoring after this research allowed us to verify that the chicks were not abandoned by their parents after being handled for the purposes of this work.
