Understanding the genetic consequences of environmental toxicant exposure: Chernobyl as a model system.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 Sept 2009

Meeks Heather N, Chesser Ronald K, Rodgers Brenda E, Gaschak Sergey, Baker Robert J

Abstract excerpt

We sampled vole populations in Ukraine with the dual goal of characterizing population diversity and of providing a biogeographic perspective to evaluate experimental designs used for previous studies. Our data indicate that genetic diversity in bank vole populations is widely variable across regions and that diversity estimates in contaminated sites are unremarkable compared to those in uncontaminated areas....
