Signatures of Radiation‐Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
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.
