18 Ιουλ 2024 · While birds abound in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, they are examples of animals that still face problems from radiation exposure. A study of barn swallows from 1991 to 2006 indicated birds in the exclusion zone displayed more abnormalities than birds from a control sample, including deformed beaks, albinistic feathers, bent tail feathers, and ...
13 Αυγ 2014 · Recent advances in genetic and ecological studies of wild animal populations in Chernobyl and Fukushima have demonstrated significant genetic, physiological, developmental, and fitness effects stemming from exposure to radioactive contaminants.
16 Ιουλ 2018 · A new study raises the possibility that Chernobyl's wolves could spread radiation-caused mutations to other European wolf populations.
30 Μαρ 2017 · Here, we review key studies of animals living under natural conditions in regions affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents. Most studies show significant genetic damage related to radiation exposure, with consequent effects on reproduction, development, fertility, and population growth rates.
3 Μαρ 2023 · For generations of dogs, home is the radioactive remains of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. In the first genetic analysis of these animals, scientists have discovered that dogs living in...
18 Απρ 2016 · It may seem strange that Chernobyl, an area known for the deadliest nuclear accident in history, could become a refuge for all kinds of animals—from moose, deer, beaver, and owls to more exotic...
The few genetic studies that have been conducted in Chernobyl generally show elevated rates of genetic damage and mutation rates. All major taxonomic groups investigated (i.e., birds, bees, butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies, spiders, mammals) displayed reduced population sizes in highly radioactive parts of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
