Abstract excerpt
Genetic monitoring of wild populations of mouse-like rodents has been carried out since 1992 in areas with the increased radioactivity in the south of the Bryansk region. The radioactive background ranged from 0.20 to 2.20 mkGy/h. Over 400 rodents of different species have been examined. Bank vole constituted more than a half of the examined animals. The genetic effect of radiation was estimated by the frequency...
