Ionizing radiation and melanism in Chornobyl tree frogs
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 1469-1479, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Human actions are altering ecosystems worldwide. Among human‐released pollutants, ionizing radiation arises as a rare but potentially devastating threat to natural systems. The Chornobyl accident (1986) represents the largest release of radioactive material to the environment. Our aim was to examine how exposure to radiation from the Chornobyl

Environmental Chemistry of Radionuclides : Open Questions and Perspectives
ChemPlusChem, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Environmental radiochemistry and radioecology have intended to assess the impact and inventory of very low levels of radionuclide in specific ecosystems. But ultra‐trace environmental levels of metallic radionuclides on the one hand, and heterogeneity on the other have up until now formed the bottleneck in our efforts to input speciation data in ...

Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
New Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 3, Page 1032-1056, August 2022., 2022 Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.
