Ionizing radiation resistance occurs among many phylogenetic groups and its mechanisms
remain incompletely understood. Tolerances to acute and chronic irradiation do not always …

The consequences for wildlife of living in radiologically contaminated environments are
uncertain. Previous laboratory studies suggest insects are relatively radiation-resistant; …
