- Title: Evidence for selection in response to radiation exposure: Pinus sylvestris in the Chernobyl exclusion zone
Author: Kuchma, Oleksandra / Finkeldey, Reiner
Reference: Environmental Pollution, 159 (6), p.1606-1612, Jun 2011
doi: doi:10.1016/j.envpol.2011.02.049
Keywords: Adaptation Radiation Pinus sylvestris Selection AFLP Outlier loci
Abstract: ► Genetic variation patterns of pines exposed to high radiation were investigated. ► Pines with or without phenotypic stress symptoms were compared to control trees. ► AFLP markers were used to reveal evidences of selection processes. ► 15 of 222 loci are identified as candidates for selective responses. ► Moderate differentiation is observed between irradiated and control trees.

- Title: Rapid land use change after socio-economic disturbances: the collapse of the Soviet Union versus Chernobyl
Author: Patrick Hostert, Tobias Kuemmerle, Alexander Prishchepov, Anika Sieber, Eric F Lambin and Volker C Radeloff
Reference: Environmental Research Letters, 6 (4), Oct 2011
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/6/4/045201
Keywords: coupled human–natural systems, socio-economic disturbance, Chernobyl nuclear disaster, post-socialist land use change, transition economies, Soviet Union
Abstract: Land use change is a principal force and inherent element of global environmental change, threatening biodiversity, natural ecosystems, and their services. Here we explored to what extent socio-economic disturbances can shift land use systems onto a different trajectory, and whether this can result in less intensive land use.

- Title: Are radiosensitivity data derived from natural field conditions consistent with data from controlled exposures? A case study of Chernobyl wildlife chronically exposed to low dose rates
Author: Garnier-Laplace, J. / Geras’kin, S. / Della-Vedova, C. / Beaugelin-Seiller, K. / Hinton, T.G. / Real, A. / Oudalova, A.
Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, In Press, Corrected Proof, Feb 2012
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2012.01.013
Keywords: Wildlife; Chernobyl Exclusion Zone; Chronic exposure; Species sensitivity distribution; Ecological risk assessment; Ionising radiation
Abstract: ► Discrepancy between controlled tests and Chernobyl effects data on wildlife was examined. ► We proposed a method to correct the dosimetry used for Chernobyl wildlife. ► Wildlife from the Chernobyl zone is more radiosensitive than in controlled situations. ► Field data sets outcoming from robust strategy are still needed to validate derived from controlled tests benchmarks.

- Title: The Chernobyl Disaster and How It Has Been Understood
Author: Zbigniew Jaworowski
Reference: International Dose-Response Society Sep 2011
doi:
Keywords:
Abstract: The Chernobyl accident was probably the worst possible catastrophe of a nuclear power station. It was the only such catastrophe since the advent of nuclear power 55 years ago. It resulted in a total meltdown of the reactor core, a vast emission of radionuclides, and early deaths of 31 persons.

- Title: RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR THE BIOTA OF TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS IN THE SHORELINE ZONE OF THE CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT COOLING POND
Author: G. Timothy Jannik and Eduardo B. Farfán
Reference: HEALTH PHYSICS JOURNALOctober 2011
doi:
Keywords: Chernobyl, decommissioning, risk assessment, radiobiology.
Abstract: Radiation exposure of the biota in the shoreline area of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Cooling Pond was assessed to evaluate radiological consequences from the decommissioning of the Cooling Pond. The article addresses studies of radioactive contamination of the terrestrial faunal complex and radionuclide concentration ratios in bodies of small birds, small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles living in the area.

- Title: Conservation consequences of Chernobyl and other nuclear accidents
Author: Møller, A.P. / Mousseau, T.A.

doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2011.08.009
Keywords: Mutation; Mutational load; Radiation; Radioactivity; Selective mortality
Abstract: Abundance of rare species was negatively impacted by the Chernobyl accident. ► Mutation rates increased by up to a factor of 20. ► The Chernobyl disaster may have significant consequences for population size. ► Birds with high mitochondrial DNA substitution rates dispersed short distances. ► Mutations will spread relatively short distances when they are common.

- Title: Abundance and diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in lakes exposed to Chernobyl-derived ionising radiation

doi: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2011.04.007
Keywords: Chernobyl;Fukushima;Macroinvertebrate;Lake;Radiation effects;Biota
Abstract: ► We studied the effect of radiation on macroinvertebrates in Chernobyl affected lakes. ► Abundance, taxon richness, Berger-Parker dominance, Shannon–Wiener diversity evaluated. ► No relationship between community indices or abundance and radiation at up to 30 μGy h−1. ► Taxon richness varied in range 22–42: typical for uncontaminated lakes in the region. ► Natural environmental factors principal drivers of biotic assemblage structure
