2024年7月18日 · Domestic animal mutations were most common in cattle and pigs. Also, cows exposed to fallout and fed radioactive feed produced radioactive milk. The health and reproduction of wild animals near Chernobyl were diminished for at least the first six months following the accident.

2024年2月17日 · In the shadow of nuclear disaster, these canines show remarkable resilience to the deadly disease. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has quickly become a 1,000 square-mile science experiment, as...

2024年11月27日 · A study analyzed the DNA of feral dogs living near Chernobyl, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences.

2014年8月13日 · All major taxonomic groups investigated (i.e., birds, bees, butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies, spiders, mammals) displayed reduced population sizes in highly radioactive parts of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

2024年2月19日 · Humans fled the disaster zone surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the deadly explosion in 1986, and have remained away from the area due to the extreme levels of radiation. But animals, including bears, bison, lynx, foxes, wolves, and more than 200 species of bird still roam the land.

2024年2月20日 · Several animals live in the the 'Chernobyl Exclusion Zone' - a 30-mile cordon where public access is forbidden due to contamination. The frogs are among several species that have undergone...

2023年3月29日 · From tree frogs to dogs, biologists have evidence of Chernobyl mutations in animals. What do these morphological changes mean for evolution?

2024年2月9日 · Mutant wolves who roam the human-free Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes that could be key to helping humans fight the deadly disease, according to a study.

2018年7月19日 · The health and reproduction of animals near Chernobyl were diminished for at least the first six months following the accident. Since that time, plants and animals have rebounded and largely reclaimed the region. Scientists collect information about the animals by sampling radioactive dung and soil and watching animals using camera traps.

2024年12月10日 · The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has become a living laboratory for studying the effects of radiation and heavy metal exposure on wildlife. Birds and insects, two of the most abundant groups in the region, have shown remarkable genetic adaptations that enable them to metabolize toxic substances and survive chronic radiation exposure.
