dataset on the content of Cu, Ni Cd, Pb, Zn, Ag, Mg, Fe, Co and Ca in the carcass, gastrointestinal tract tissues and the whole body of nestlings of a small passerine bird, the Eurasian Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus

The data include the description of the age and the concentrations of Cu, Ni Cd, Pb, Zn, Ag, Mg, Fe, Co and Ca measured in the isolated, emptied gastrointestinal tract, the whole body, and carcass of the each individual nestling of a different age and hence a different stage of post-natal development. The dataset includes also some additional information on the breeding biology of the focal species.
