Some observations on meaningful and objective inference in radioecological field studies

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 7, Page 1546-1553, July 2022., 2022
A habitat in the Red Forest, Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine. The criticism of our study design (Antwis et al., 2021) by Watts et al. (2022), and the designs and analysis of their recent studies in the CEZ, show a misunderstanding of the true nature of independent replication in field studies. Recognizing the importance of spatial non‐independence is

Impacts of radiation exposure on the bacterial and fungal microbiome of small mammals in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 9, Page 2172-2187, September 2021., 2021
The authors show that radiation exposure in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has relatively little effect on the gut microbiome of small mammals, but a small number of microbial taxa may serve as biomarkers of radiation exposure. Abstract Environmental impacts of the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident are much debated, but the effects of radiation
