2016年4月18日 · It may seem strange that Chernobyl, an area known for the deadliest nuclear accident in history, could become a refuge for all kinds of animals—from moose, deer, beaver, and owls to more exotic...

2024年7月18日 · Affected species include frogs, fish, crustaceans, and insect larvae. While birds abound in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, they are examples of animals that still face problems from radiation exposure.

2020年9月16日 · Researchers have found the land surrounding the plant, which has been largely off limits to humans for three decades, has become a haven for wildlife, with lynx, bison, deer and other animals roaming through thick forests.

2023年6月7日 · Wild animals in Chernobyl are flourishing within the contaminated region; puppies roaming the area are capturing the hearts of thousands. Tourists who have watched the critically acclaimed HBO...

The radioactive shock when the Chernobyl reactor exploded in 1986 combined with chronic low-dose contamination has resulted in morphologic, physiologic, and genetic disorders in every animal species that has been studied--mammals, birds, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.

2014年4月26日 · Mutations have been found in animal populations within the original 1,004-square-mile Chernobyl exclusion area, including in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) and bank voles (Clethrionomys...

2014年8月13日 · Recent advances in genetic and ecological studies of wild animal populations in Chernobyl and Fukushima have demonstrated significant genetic, physiological, developmental, and fitness effects stemming from exposure to radioactive contaminants.

2017年3月30日 · Here, we review key studies of animals living under natural conditions in regions affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents.
