Agriculture is a major threat to tropical biodiversity. We determined the first hematology and serum biochemistry panels for wild Malay civets persisting within a fragmented landscape. In addition to expected biological drivers of variation, select blood parameters predictably varied with proximity to oil palm agriculture.
