Environmental pollution affects genetic diversity in wild bird populations.

Mutation research - 19 Sept 2006

Eeva Tapio, Belskii Eugen, Kuranov Boris

Abstract excerpt

Many common environmental pollutants, together with nuclear radiation, are recognized as genotoxic. There is, however, very little information on pollution-related genetic effects on free-living animal populations, especially in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated whether genetic diversity in two small insectivorous passerines, the great tit (Parus major) and the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), was...
