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.
