Purpose Animals are exposed to environmental ionizing radiation (IR) externally through
proximity to contaminated soil and internally through ingestion and inhalation of …

We re-analyzed field data concerning potential effects of ionizing radiation on the
abundance of mammals collected in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) to interpret these …

The mass of internal organs and cellularity index of thymus and spleen were measured in
small mammals inhabiting territories with a low level of chronic irradiation caused by the …

Hypothesis: Natural mouse populations in radioactive contamination zone provide adequate
information about dose loads and biological effects for 'non-human biota'. The comparative …

The intention of the paper by Beaugelin-Seiller and co-workers (Beaugelin-Seiller et al., 6
2018) is to make the comparison of wildlife radiosensitivity in the field with that in the 7 …

The Chernobyl reactor accident in April 1986 caused the release to atmosphere of some 2 x
10 {sup 6} TBq, or more, of total fission/activation products. Estimates of deposition vary …

This work is based on the comparative analysis of data obtained in the course of monitoring
pygmy wood mouse populations (Apodemus uralensis Pallas, 1811) in the East-Urals …

The discrepancy between laboratory or controlled conditions ecotoxicity tests and field data
on wildlife chronically exposed to ionising radiation is presented for the first time. We …

A number of assessment frameworks have been proposed to provide a mechanism to
demonstrate protection of the environment from ionising radiation. Whilst some of these are …

This article describes major studies performed by the Chernobyl Center's International
Radioecology Laboratory (Slavutich, Ukraine) on radioecology of murine rodents and …
