Timing Is Everything: The Effect of Exposure to Pollution on Wildlife Gut Microbiota Is Contingent on Season. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental pollutants can disrupt the gut microbiota, but how pollutants impact natural, seasonal changes in wildlife gut microbiota remains unknown. We quantified how exposure to radionuclides affected temporal changes in the gut microbiota of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) inhabiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ ...

Signatures of Radiation-Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Investigating the physiological and evolutionary consequences of contaminant exposure in wild populations is critical for understanding long‐term ecological impacts of anthropogenic change. However, how and why species persist, even thrive, in highly contaminated regions in the absence of humans remains a topic of much debate.

SOME ISSUES OF LIFE ACTIVITIES OF POPULATION IN THE CHORNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE IN UKRAINE [PDF]
Background. Radiation accidents at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (USSR, 1986) and Fukushima-1 (Japan, 2011) have shown that global environmental contamination is an intervention in normal human life making negative effect on population health. These accidents highlighted a number of statutory and regulatory both with medical and social problems for

Unusual evolution of tree frog populations in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. [PDF]
Abstract Despite the ubiquity of pollutants in the environment, their long‐term ecological consequences are not always clear and still poorly studied. This is the case concerning the radioactive contamination of the environment following the major nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Mortality from cancer and non-cancer diseases in the Lithuanian cohort of Chernobyl cleanup workers (2001-2020). [PDF]
What's new? Following the Chernobyl disaster, workers were recruited from formerly Soviet‐occupied areas, including Lithuania, to participate in clean‐up efforts. Radiation exposure incurred by workers during these efforts offers a unique opportunity for the study of long‐term health effects.
