Albinism and phenotype of barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) from Chernobyl.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2001

Møller A P, Mousseau T A

Abstract excerpt

The effects of mutation on phenotypic expression are supposed to be mainly deleterious because mutations disrupt the expression of genes that function relatively well under current environmental conditions. Thus, mutations are assumed to give rise to deviant phenotypes that are generally selected against. Radioactive contamination in the Chernobyl region of Ukraine is associated with a significant increase by a...
