Abstract excerpt
We have shown that natural drosophila populations from the settlement Vetka of Gomel region with increased radiation background are more adapted to mutagenic effect of radiation than drosophila populations from Berezinsky reserve (the control). After the populations were placed into laboratory thermostat adaptation of Vetka population remained within 6-8 generations without irradiation. However the control...
