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

Megafauna restoration as a legal obligation: International biodiversity law and the rehabilitation of large mammals in Europe

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 182-198, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Restoring functional ecosystems in Europe inter alia requires restoring large mammal (megafauna) diversity and densities to levels well above the current downgraded state, which results from a human‐driven wave of megafauna extinctions and extirpations in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.

Unusual evolution of tree frog populations in the Chernobyl exclusion zone

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 203-219, February 2022., 2022
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.

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
