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.

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?

2023年6月7日 · Almost four decades after the Chernobyl disaster—the world’s worst nuclear accident—signs of life are returning to the exclusion zone. Wild animals in Chernobyl are flourishing within the...

2023年3月17日 · Barn swallows have previously been found to have two to 10-fold higher mutation rates in Chernobyl than in Italy or elsewhere in Ukraine. Meanwhile, voles living in the Exclusion Zone were...

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.

3 天之前 · The Chernobyl disaster forced humans out of the area, and our exit has offered new freedom to wildlife. The CEZ has inadvertently become mainland Europe's third-largest nature reserve. It hosts insects, amphibians, fish, mammals, …

2024年2月20日 · Last year, a study published in Science Advances gave a glimpse into how long-term radiation exposure affects living beings. The wild dogs living in the area underwent genetic mutation, the...

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.
