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.
